What's the plural of "virus?"

Do try to keep up:

coitüs (well, not an umlaut, but with a long u)

The article is a bit unpersuasive: it seems to say essentially, "we don't know what the latin plural was, so let's just use the english plural. and we don't know the latin plural only because no one ever appears to have used the word in written latin of which we still have a copy."

but why would you ever have a need for plural coitus?
