The following is taken from "V******y Blog" regarding how many types of v***ses there are on earth:
"If we assume that the 62,305 known vertebrate species each harbor 58 v***ses, the number of unknown v***ses rises to 3,613,690 – over three times more than Dr. Morse’s estimate. The number rises to 100,939,140 v***ses if we include the 1,740,330 known species of vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, lichens, mushrooms, and brown algae. This number does not include v***ses of bacteria, archaea, and other single-celled organisms. Considering that there are 10 (to the power of 31) v***s particles in the oceans – mostly bacteriophages – the number is likely to be substantially higher."
Thus as a truly ancient form, the v***s was one of the first forms on earth and they are sure to be here long after mankind is gone from the planet.
