[edit] Lentivirus transmission

The ICTV database seems to contradict itself. Equine infectious anemia is transmitted by an arthropod vector, yet ICTV says lentiviruses are not transmitted by vectors. ICTV does list EIAV as a lentivirus and says it can be transmitted by a vector. Should we change this article to reflect this, or leave it? --Joelmills 23:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

In general, most lentiviruses may not be spread by vectors, but there could be an exception to the rule (and in natural systems there usually are.) That situation is not necessarily a self-contradiction. Argantael (talk) 21:37, 29 October 2008 (UTC) Argantael

[edit] Morphology

This section consists of several sentence fragments strung together with semicolons. Is there a reason for this, or can someone make it into grammatically correct English?Im.a.lumberjack 01:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
