| Discovery Notes | Sample collected at surface of soil, outside of Raether Library at Trinity College. Collected approximately one foot away from side walk, five feet away from a tree and patch of lilies. Sample and area contain woodchips. Soil was moist due to recent rain |
| Naming Notes | Imp48 has three components that lead to its name. Imp refers to the "impish" qualities of the virus, sometimes showing one plaque, sometimes showing two. In this way it had somewhat of a mischievous personality. 48 refers to the fact that it takes 48 hours for the two different plaque types to show. Imp also is my grandfather's nickname and he always encouraged my love of science |

| Plaque Notes | after 24 hours: Plaques are clear, round, with distinct edges. There is no haloing. Average diameter is 2.1 mm after 48 hours: Two distinct types of plaques are present.
