The human virome in healthy, asymptomatic adults. The histogram shows the number of individuals (y-axis) who were positive for a given number of different viral genera (x-axis). [16] The diversity of human viruses is vast and continually expanding. As of now, there are 219 known species of viruses that can infect humans.
