| *Please remember that sites which provide
images of viruses are often technical and can be hard to understand.
You will find Latin and/or medical names and unfamiliar terminology.
Don't be discouraged since many of the books on diseases and viruses have
virus images. Use the sites listed below to obtain an image of your
virus not to obtain information about the virus. If you locate an
image on a web site, please show it to Mr. Altorfer to make
sure you have identified it correctly. |
