Bourbon virus, Thogotovirus edit

Electron micrograph of Bourbon virus

  • ... that Bourbon virus (pictured), discovered in 2014 from a man who died after tick bites, is the first thogotovirus to be associated with human disease in the Western hemisphere?

  • Comment: An alternative image is available; both are cropped from images in the article. ETA: I'm also trying to expand thogotovirus, but I'm not quite there yet. -- now got to 5 fold, but I'll continue working on it in the morning. Note that I have only done one QPQ.

5x expanded by Espresso Addict (talk). Self nominated at 13:51, 6 March 2015 (UTC).

  • Thanks! I didn't know you could formally add a second article after creating the nomination. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:00, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
  • These two articles are both fivefold expansions and are new enough and long enough. The carefully-worded hook is cited to a reliable source. The articles are neutral and I did not detect any copyright issues. Either of the images could be used as both are in the public domain. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:39, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
