[edit] Biotechnological Uses

It would be good to add a "biotechnological uses" section. 134.173.97.220 21:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC) incorrect info

according to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Tree&id=10509&lvl=3&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock

there are not 40 serotypes of human adenovirus, (see the mastadenovirus) part but 51

[edit] Image

I don't think the image is too good. Why should the article show any other viruses at all? And if for comparison - why only these thre? I mean those three viruses are not the only three kinds of viruses existing in the world. --149.156.87.152 08:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

  • Is it not typical to locate the article at the singular of the word?
    • I believe for families in zoology and virology it is customary for the plural form to be used. If you look at scientific classification, all the families and subfamilies are in plural, although none of the phyla, classes, orders, etc. are. --Joelmills 03:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Size

--- The article states that the virus is between 60-90nm in diameter. Is this with or without fibre diameter?

[edit] Erroneous redirect

The redirect from Adeno_associated_virus_group is completely inaccurate, adeno-associated virus and adenovirus are not synonymous terms. NCBI taxonomy browser links provided as evidence.

[edit] Article introduction too long

The article's introduction is not much smaller than the entire rest of the article. Revising this and moving the meat down can be a contribute significantly to improving the article's quality. 81.93.102.185 (talk) 16:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
