As with all virus infections it cannot be removed,it's systemic,it can be removed by meristem tissue being cultured but with great difficulty, mainly with more valuable plants than figs.It can be hidden with good culture but not eradicated and it is no good looking for a "clean shoot" to grow on,it's still contaminated.
