Description: It seems several plant names get linked to the virus kingdom because there rightly exists also a virus name with the same binomial, but with some additional virus suffix in the name. For example Parnara guttata Npv from IRMNG becomes Parnara guttata in virus and the correct plant binomial is removed from plants.

Fixing this should include an update to the name parser and an investigation into the variety of names that have this problem. Hopefully there is sth in common that can eb used to identify these names as viruses.

Pointed out by Andrea because some insect occurrences are wrongly interpreted as viruses:
