Viruses evolve rapidly and hence the human virome changes constantly. [5] Every human being has a unique virome with a unique balance of species. [2] [6] Lifestyle, age, geographic location, and even the season of the year can affect an individual's exposure to viruses, and one's susceptibility to any disease that might be caused by those ...
Virome refers to the assemblage of viruses [1] [2] that is often investigated and described by metagenomic sequencing of viral nucleic acids [3] that are found associated with a particular ecosystem, organism or holobiont. The word is frequently used to describe environmental viral shotgun metagenomes.

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is one of nine known members of the Herpesviridae family that infects humans. HHV-7 is a member of Betaherpesvirinae , a subfamily of the Herpesviridae that also includes HHV-6 and Cytomegalovirus (HHV-5 or HCMV).
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 ...
Monodnaviria is a portmanteau of mono, from Greek μόνος [mónos], which means single, DNA from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which references single-stranded DNA, and the suffix -viria, which is the suffix used for virus realms.
In 2015 two novel rhabdoviruses, Ekpoma virus 1 and Ekpoma virus 2, were discovered in samples of blood from two healthy women in southwestern Nigeria. Ekpoma virus 1 and Ekpoma virus 2 appear to replicate well in humans (viral load ranged from ~45,000 - ~4.5 million RNA copies/mL plasma) but did not cause any observable symptoms of disease. [ 24 ]
[1] [2] Phageome is a subcategory of virome, which is all of the viruses that are associated with a host or environment. [3] The term was first used in an article by Modi et al. in 2013 [ 4 ] and has continued to be used in scientific articles that relate to bacteriophages and their metagenomes.
