new to lilies, have virus.

I bought a mixture of asiatic and oriental lilies (25 each) from VanEngelen last year. Along with 100 tulips, they were planted in a smallish bed (2 x 8).

I'm pretty sure several have the virus. We did have aphids aplenty this spring. A few have the mottled coloration, others have broken flowers or the leaves are browning rapidly.

How can I pull and replace the bulbs in tight quarters? Should I dig the whole thing up? It almost seems easier, especially if the lilies are all likely to get infected.
