Capitalisation

Shouldn't this article be named "West Nile virus" with a small "v"? Derek Harkness 13:01, 5 June 2007 (CDT)

Internationalization

We really ought to report global data, at least about the virus in other English-speaking countries than the U.S., although I am sure the interests of English-speaking readers extend to the whole world, when it comes to this virus. --Larry Sanger 08:33, 9 October 2007 (CDT)


You are correct, I just don't know who to cite for a good number on this. I will to check around with my virus expert friends.

BTW Larry, I was reading the discussion regarding latin names vs common names, and it led me to wonder if we need to define a set of rules for viruses regarding family, genus, sero-complexes, and the like. The branches of viral trees are still being debated too, i.e. is Yellow fever the oldest flavivirus or not. David E. Volk 09:05, 9 October 2007 (CDT)
