Talk:Perkinsus marinus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is not a virus, right? Maybe the external link should be displayed as "Description of pathogen" or "Description of disease"
- P. Marinus is apparently not a virus but is a protozoan organism (considerably more colloquially: it is a single cell, it is not a strand of RNA). I have modified the External links considerably. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 23:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Taxobox
I think this article might look nice if it had a taxobox template. The irony is that the classification of P. Marinus is apparently still the subject of debate, hence trying to classify this organism via a wiki template is all the more challenging. In order to leave some proposal behind I'll leave this crude attempt here to allow others to help fill in the blanks better than I have done, before transferring it over to the article: 67.86.73.252 (talk) 00:46, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
