[edit] Viral diseases, viruses, or both

This template started out listing diseases only. It now seems to becoming a mix of diseases, and the viruses involved. (especially now that GrahamColm added viral gastroenteritis as a subhead.) Should we have a consensus whether this should be viral diseases (as the template name suggests), viruses, or both? Do we care? Regards—G716 <T·C> 18:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

  • It might be better called Viruses and Disease, perhaps??? But hey, what do I know, I'm a newbie.User:GrahamColm —Preceding comment was added at 19:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
  • The scope appears to be limited to medicine, so perhaps the title should be viruses infecting humans. In that context, organization by disease makes sense, since often the infectious disease is identfied but the infecting agent is not. --Una Smith 05:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] should it say viral diseases in humans?

propose name change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.151.229.24 (talk) 01:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
