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.[1][2] However, more recently virosphere has also been used to refer to the pool of viruses that occurs in all hosts and all environments,[3] as well as viruses associated with specific types of hosts (prokaryotic virosphere,[4] archaeal virosphere,[5] Invertebrate  virosphere),[6] type of genome  (RNA virosphere,[7] dsDNA virosphere)[8] or ecological niche (marine virosphere).[9]
