Default Is this Mosaic virus?

I potted up these Strawberries last year and planted them a couple of weeks ago. The leaves are very variegated, turning a real yellowy colour. Is this just lack of food or might it be Mosaic virus? I can't tell!

It doesnt look a happy bunny thats for sure, depending how brave you are you could persevere and give a good feed, I must admit I have a couple of cucumbers in a similiar condition but I have isolated them and have fed and also sprayed with epsom salts in the hope that its magnesium defiency.
You might want to try google images for comparison.

Thanks TEB, I've had a google around but I'm still not sure. I only found them as seedlings in the garden last year so I'm not too worried about loosing and replacing them, I'm more concerned about replanting the same area with more Strawberries if it is mosaic.

Thanks Lesley, not sure what the best food is but I think i've got some tomato food somewhere, that should give them a boost!
