The Picornavirus name comes from 'pico' meaning small, 'rna'
which is their genomic makeup (instead of DNA), and 'virus'.
But instead of being pronounced pico-r-n-a-virus, it sounds
more like pea-corn-ah-virus.
BTW, a good WWW site for viruses is the
'Molecular Virology at the University of Wisconsin' at
http://www.bocklabs.wisc.edu/Welcome.html
Also try the bionet.virology newsgroup.
