Okay - it's pretty much finished. You can download it from here to have a
look (load into DAG-Edit):

I'll send out a final email now warning people that I'll merge the
changes in on Monday, and listing the terms that will be made obsolete.
A few final things to suggest/check:
Another couple of name changes (just for consistency of term names really,
and making names clearer):
host cell invasion -> entry into host cell (old name as exact synonym)
(sorry - I know I already suggested changing that one once already!)
viral entry -> viral entry into host cell
I've also made 'viral entry' a child of 'host cell invasion' like this:
entry into host cell
---[i] viral entry into host cell
This is because the definition of 'viral entry' is 'The process by which a
virion enters a host cell, including virion attachment and penetration'.
Let me know if that definition's wrong and I can change it back.
Could the definition of 'interaction between organisms' be changed
slightly from:
The processes by which an organism has an observable effect on an organism
of a different species.
to
The processes by which an organism affects an organism of a different
species.
?
(we don't like to include experimental references like 'observe')
And Candace, could you come up with a definition for the new term
'symbiotic interaction with other, non-host organism' do you think? It'll be
much better than mine!
thanks,
Jane
