Host (biology)

edit
  • ... that humans and horses are dead end hosts for the West Nile virus?
    • ALT1:... that plants often produce toxic substances to try to prevent herbivores from using them as hosts?

Improved to Good Article status by Chiswick Chap (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk). Nominated by Cwmhiraeth (talk) at 09:53, 19 March 2018 (UTC).

  • GA, in time, long enough, sourced, ALT0 citation checks out (added duplicate citation inline), no apparent copyvios (one site appears to be copying from the article, not the other way around), QPQ done. Strong preference to ALT0; ALT1 would need an inline citation (looks like the one at the end of the paragraph could be used), but I think it is less interesting. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:07, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
