Core Tip	Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease involving the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiopathogenesis is unknown, but gut microbiome dysbiosis is believed to be a cornerstone in triggering disease progression. The gut virome forms a significant part of the microbiome and participates in health and disease conditions. Until 2015, researchers paid little attention to their role in IBD. Subsequently, numerous studies have followed this line of inquiry, using advanced techniques to clarify this role. Herein, we emphasize the viral populations in the gut and their predicted roles in the etiopathogenesis of IBD based on current studies.
