Virus classification. Virus classification is the process of naming viruses and placing them into a taxonomic system similar to the classification systems used for cellular organisms. Viruses are classified by phenotypic characteristics, such as morphology, nucleic acid type, mode of replication, host organisms, and the type of disease they cause

The diversity of human viruses is vast and continually expanding. As of now, there are 219 known species of viruses that can infect humans. This number continues to grow with three to four new species being discovered every year. The human virome is not stable and may change over time. In fact, new viruses are discovered constantly.
Not all viruses are harmful, and many don’t infect humans. But ones that do cause can cause COVID, flu, hepatitis, shingles, herpes, measles, colds and many other illnesses.
Eastern equine encephalitis virus is an Alphavirus that is transmitted between birds and mammals, including humans and horses, by several mosquito species. The virus (coloured in red) is found in the mosquito salivary gland , and is injected into the new host when the insect feeds.
There are millions of different types of viruses, [8] although fewer than 7,000 types have been described in detail. [ 6 ] : 49 As of January 2021, the NCBI Virus genome database has more than 193,000 complete genome sequences, [ 56 ] but there are doubtlessly many more to be discovered.
