Expand the article

It seems that article is small with history, victims, symptoms, similairity to rabids and information. I cannot do him because language is not english and mistaken words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.80.179 (talk) 13:42, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This article needs to be expanded to include societal impact. Unfortunately, my current effort only encompasses basic virology. Bervin61 (talk) 20:42, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that helical symmetry is typical of plant viruses. While it is most commonly associated with plant viruses, and with the famous tobacco mosaic virus, there are plenty of helical viruses affecting animals. A famous example is ... Ebola! Additionally, some viruses may not have a cylindrical shape but still have a helical capsid or nucleocapsid (one may argue that in helical viruses the "capsid" is really a nucleocapsid, since it binds the nucleic acids directly); this includes Sendai virus.134.36.64.135 (talk) 10:13, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Life cycle

This section is a bit of a mess. Zoonosis is infection of humans by non-human species. It is not a mode of transmission. The sentence on transcription is poorly worded and not well-punctuated. The sentence on 'natural hosts' should be corrected. Vertebrates? Which non-mammalian vertebrates? Humans are not a natural host. Natural hosts are reservoirs for viruses; this does not apply to humans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CCC7:E780:142C:7E07:A089:B114 (talk) 19:23, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs a rewrite. Loads of small errors and subtle word changes that make a difference to meaning. (47.37.165.193 (talk) 22:26, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
