Diploid Viruses?

[Mark E. Brodsky]

Recently, I was browsing a Virology WWW page, when I came across a
referance to "Diploid" viruses. It seemed to imply that these were not
diploid in the usual sense of the word, but the server did not
elaborate any more on the subject. Could someone please explain what
is meant by a diploid virus? Thank you.
