No - they are the "subgroup" of the genotype. Quasispecies is a different story:

Quasispecies and Viral Mutation

http://www.hepatitis.va.gov/vahep?page=prtop03-cs-01#S3X

Within all individuals, slightly different genetic versions of their genotype are present. Viral mutations occur over time spontaneously and in response to pressure from the host immune response, forming genetically distinct viral groups called quasispecies.(1) Genotypes represent major genetic differences, whereas quasispecies represent minor genetic differences within an individual. Quasispecies continue to evolve in an individual over time, whereas genotype does not change. Quasispecies can be measured quantitatively (viral complexity) and qualitatively (viral divergence over time).
