Abstract

Multicomponent viruses are common in plants and fungi. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Ladner et al. (2016) describe a multicomponent virus from animals. This supports an emerging view that invertebrates harbor a remarkable viral diversity and highlights how little of the virosphere has been explored.
