 * Symbol question.svg Currently there is no citation or body text about possible human fatalities from the bornavirus.-- Kev min  § 15:11, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I have added some more text to the article. Perhaps my hooks were too definite, so what about:
 * ALT2 ... that a virus carried by pet variegated squirrels is believed to cause a fatal human disease? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:27, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg *Citation added so I dont have any more contention on it, but WP:Med is out side my area of understanding so I will pass the rest of the review off. sorry. -- Kev min  § 13:19, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Having consulted at this page, I have struck the previous hooks and propose
 * ALT3 ... that a form of encephalitis that killed three people, is believed to have been caused by a virus carried by their pet variegated squirrels? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:55, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Alt3 hook passes all the requirements. The article already met everything else, so it can hopefully be promoted at last. White Arabian Filly  Neigh 21:15, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
