Virosphere

Virosphere (virus diversity, virus world, global virosphere) was coined to refer to all those places in which viruses are found or which are affected by viruses. However, more recently virosphere has also been used to refer to the pool of viruses that occurs in all hosts and all environments, as well as viruses associated with specific types of hosts (prokaryotic virosphere, archaeal virosphere, Invertebrate  virosphere), type of genome  (RNA virosphere, dsDNA virosphere) or ecological niche (marine virosphere).
