Talk:Adria virus

The article could use more links to other relevant topics in Wikipedia. The article has a fair amount of jargon; please keep the target audience in mind. Also, it seems from the presented information that it is not clear that this virus has a pathogenic role vs. was present by coincidence in a single patient. Please place into context, either with a qualifying statement or with additional references or information supporting the idea that this virus is pathogenic in humans.Ireneachen (talk) 00:51, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Simon's notes
Intro:

If febrile illness is the same as a fever, I’d say ‘fever’ for ease of understanding.
I want to see the basic virus info that Dr. Chen often says when introducing a virus. i.e. capsid structure, genome size and type

Background of discovery:

Could use an extra phrase or sentence to explain why Papa and Velo wanted to do this study.
I’m not 100% clear on why the sandflies were divided into pools.
Is it quantified how different the Adria virus is from other phelboviruses?
The use of scientist last names seems strange to me. Unless the researchers themselves are really important, I feel like wikipedia articles would usually say something like “In 2005, a team of researchers…” rather than the actual names.

Pathogenesis in humans:

Where was the patient with Adria virus? Albania?
This sentence “The obtained sequence was identical to sequences collected in 2005 in Adriatic coastal region of Albania” says the same thing as a sentence in the first paragraph of this section. I would move the previous sentence “Viral RNA was extracted from the patient's blood…” into the first paragraph.
I don’t understand what “clusters with” means in this context.Simon.Ng100 (talk) 06:51, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
