The message
from Kay Easton contains these words:

OED "virus pl viruses"

Yes - anglicised, and in the context of virus the living organism and by

However, the OED is not an authority to consult on matters of Latin
grammar. (Nor, as certain Urglers have pointed out, on botanic
accuracy.)

Nor the Win95 CD OED with a WinXP OS :-((
