Delete all instances of "Omicron" species (NCBI TaxID: 2613138)
Evidence or Reasoning for the Correction
All 176 mentions of Omicron as a host "species" are coming from ImmPort which is tied to a bunch of immunology programs and projects. ImmPort is much less likely to have wasp-related data than something like DRYAD, and much more likely to have COVID-19 Omicron data.
