| Discovery Notes | Discovered from a lysate of phage "Thonko" collected from Empangeni, South Africa by Nomusa Christina Mzimela. The lysate was plaque purified at the University of Pittsburgh, and this phage was discovered after plaque purification demonstrated two distinct plaque morphologies. |
| Naming Notes | Colloquial saying common in South African culture.
A South African word derived from Xhosa, now used in all languages within South Africa and some neighbouring countries. Eish is one of the reasons South Africa is so great, it can express anything from excitement to horror. |
