Help needed. Is this crinum virused?

From my experience in growing  Crinums the faint circles suggest  that they 
were likely to have been mildly  infected by thrips, mites or mealy   bugs 
during the leaf growth stage. This can be more obvious when grown in 
nutrient deficitant conditions.

Cheers
Jim
