Description: Virus names don't follow a common structure that our name parser can handle. Creating implicit species and genus names is therefore wrong.
For example "Enterobacteria phage T1" is not included in the genus Enterobacteria, but it is the genus "T1-like viruses" according to ICTV. The nub building works mostly fine though, because the name parser flags names that contain "virus" or "phage" as virus names and doesn't parse them any further.

Nub: http://ecat-dev.gbif.org/usage/5926898
ICTV: Caudovirales	Siphoviridae		T1-like viruses	1	Enterobacteria phage T1

Nevertheless we should make sure all usages inside the virus kingdom don't create implicit genus & species names]]>
