Narcissus "Yellow Streak" virus?

Bessemer City, NC(Zone 7b)

My new patch of sweeties, N. 'Little Gem' seems to have the virus commonly known as "yellow streak".

Can anyone confirm that this is a virus infection?

Not sure why, but the foliage has yellow tips too.

The NC State University plant clinic viewed these and other pix and confirmed that the bulbs are virused, but it would take further testing to ID the specific one.
