- Viruses are on the edge of the five kingdoms of living things, in that they do not comprise of a livings cells, but
- are particles dependent on a host's living cell for their propogation.
- Viruses tend to have been discovered by the disease they inflict upon their host, therefore the orginal classification has been accordingly;
- in Humans Health: Conditions and Diseases: Infectious Diseases: Viral,
- Health: Conditions and Diseases: Respiratory Disorders,
- other Animals or Plants.
- Other websites may not deal with the classification according to taxonomy.
- Websites about the study of viruses and hosts other than humans may be found in Science: Biology: Microbiology: Virology.
- The websites here focus on the difference between the virus particles, rather than their host,
- providing possible taxonomic classification, as with others in the parent categories.
