For M13 we have a term and definition in Microbiology.
M13 (Microbiology) 
A bacteriophage which infects certain strains of E. coli. The salient feature of this phage is that it packages only a single strand of DNA into its capsid. If the investigator has inserted some heterologous DNA into the M13 genome, copious quantities of single-stranded DNA can subsequently be isolated from the phage capsids. M13 is often used to generate templates for DNA sequencing.
