iNaturalist lists viruses as "unknown", regardles theyr ID.
This means, the iNaturalist ID-Module will always list viruses among unknown ID's.
To fix this do as following:
Instructions
Use the ID of the virus-host for your virus-observations!
By that two things will happen:
- Viruses will not any more pollute the category "Unknown" in the iNaturalist ID-Module.
- Viruses will be searchable in a more useful way.
Virologists can search the project for viruses in the annotation-field. Species-Owners (Non-Virologists) can search the Project for a species. In that way the project is useful for Virologists which want to track viruses and Species-Owners which want to learn about a possible desease that affects theyr species. (Learn more below)
Add
- Add the virus observation to the general categoy "Life" or if known to the host-taxon.
This will help to remove the virus from being tracked as unknown.
This will help users to find viruses by host.
- Add suspected or verified viruses to this "Virus: "-project.
This will collect all, suspected or verified, viruses in one place.
- Use the "Virus: " annotation-fields.
This will provide some useful information.
See: The "Virus: " annotation-fields.
Search for virus taxon
To search this project for a virus use the filter fields.
Example: "Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus".
Search for virus host taxon
To search this project for a virus host use the filter fields.
Example: "Life".
Tipp: Long-term observations
If you want to chain long-term observations, about spreading of a virus or effect on a host and so on, use the "Series: " annotation-filds.
The first observation of a series, you can also add to the Series as bundeled sets of observations-project.
The "Virus: " annotation-fields
The "Virus: " annotation-fields are as following:
- Virus: (A1) State
Suspected: means that the observation contains probably a virus of any virus Taxon.
Verified: meand that the observation contains for sure a virus.
- Virus: (B1) Host Taxon
Taxon of the virus host, if any?
- Virus: (B2) Host DNA
DNA of the virus host, if known?
- Virus: (C1) Taxon
Taxon of the virus, if known?
- Virus: (C2) DNA
DNA of the virus, if known?
- Virus: (D1) Annotation
Any custom annotation, if any?

- Virus: (E01) Realm
…viria
- Virus: (E02) Subrealm
…vira
