NCBITaxon:72839773 exists?

This is a reminder to double-check if this taxa exists. When running the pipeline to generate taxslim.obo, a message appears "could not find id for the class NCBITaxon:72839773".

Could not find a class for id: NCBITaxon:72839773

I happened to be doing some searches at NCBI taxonomy and tried this ID. As far as I can tell, this ID does not exist.

Here's what I tried (none returned any match):

1. A search for the ID at NCBI taxonomy, with and without the 'txid' prefix
2. This URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=72839773 (adding the ID to this URL works for all the active NCBI taxonomy terms I've tried before)
3. Google searches:
   • ncbi taxonomy "72839773"
   • ncbi taxonomy "txid72839773"
4. A search of the Wayback machine for 'NCBI taxonomy 72839773' and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=72839773
   • Note that searching the Wayback machine for the full URL of Dengue virus (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=12637) does work.

Thank you for searching for this, @allenbaron! I'll remove it from the taxslim id list.
