Discovery NotesPhage was isolated from a soil sample collected outside the Fresh Food Cafe of Johns Hopkins University. Soil was damp and easy to dig up due to recent rain. Soil collected was under bark, and near trees and bushes. Two samples, from the same location/spot were collected - "A" and "B". This phage is from Sample B. Soil from Sample B contained the presence of thick, pink worms (specific species unknown).
Naming NotesPhage was named in a manner to pay homage to investigator's culture and country (New Zealand), as well as investigator's fondness for sheep. The adjective "shaggy" is a nod to the "fuzzy" edges of the phages' plaques.
