It could be a virus, it could also be cold damage. Some of mine came up looking like a concertina, as if they had to struggle out of the ground - definitly cold damage - maybe this is too? I know of tulip virus but have not come across one that attacks daffodils as well, tho' I guess that is possible. Grow many different kinds here, some have stripey leaves like that, and seem to be fine - someone else may know more.
