Has anyone dealt with this in the past. White flies are the transmission vector. I have had this the past 2 years and went through all possible diagnosis's from nutrient, to mites to ozone damage up until I found this website this past week and it fits perfectly. Starts on the older leaves and spreads out causing interveinal chlorosis.
see pic 5a on the site, exact copy of my leaves and I whiteflies all over. never though they were an issue.

Hi Jeff-
I know you can observe identical symptoms but to be certain for sure that this is the problem you have, I strongly recommended you send samples to a lab to get them tested. In your case if you think this is what you have you can have the lab just screen for this virus, but I would still personally recommend a general virus scan also.
I have no affiliation with the below lab, but I have sent them samples and I have liked the data they have provided me in the past. The key part to developing an effective strategy is to have a proper diagnosis.
