Revision as of 09:07, 2 June 2008

This is a format experiment on linked pathogen and disease

Please read Coxiella burnetii and Q fever together, and help me work out formats, and how much overlap, there should exist between the article on a pathogen and a disease it produces. I'd welcome someone taking on a pathogen that takes produces more than one disease -- should dengue virus have separate articles for dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever?
