A couple of suggestions

Your edits, which appear to be the same one in a variety of virus articles, are all being reverted. First of all, we traditionally don't quote articles directly, partially because of copyright issues, but also we need to rewrite the verbiage for a broader audience. Also, please review WP:MEDRS, which helps in what we consider to be reliable sources for medical articles, and WP:CITET to properly construct citations in article. Thanks.
