[edit] 'Poly-DNA Virus' surely?

Is this article's name correct? As a word it's unpronouncable. --jazzle 11:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

The name Polydnavirus is correct. It is the official family name for this group of agents given by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, the recognized authority for the naming of viruses. And, in fact, it is pronounceable - pol-lid-na-vi-rus --Ike 23:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
