Unique architecture of thermophilic archaeal virus APBV1 and its genome packaging. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 Archaeal viruses have evolved to infect hosts often thriving in extreme conditions such as high temperatures. However, there is a paucity of information on archaeal virion structures, genome packaging, and determinants of temperature resistance.

New virus isolates from Italian hydrothermal environments underscore the biogeographic pattern in archaeal virus communities. [PDF]
ISME J, 2020 International audienceViruses of hyperthermophilic archaea represent one of the least understood parts of the virosphere, showing little genomic and morphological similarity to viruses of bacteria or eukaryotes.

Putative archaeal viruses from the mesopelagic ocean [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Oceanic viruses that infect bacteria, or phages, are known to modulate host diversity, metabolisms, and biogeochemical cycling, while the viruses that infect marine Archaea remain understudied despite the critical ecosystem roles played by their hosts ...

Virus-borne mini-CRISPR arrays are involved in interviral conflicts
Nature Communications, 2019 Here, the authors investigate the diversity and dynamics of the CRISPRome in the hyperthermophilic archaea of the order Sulfolobales, and find the most abundant spacers to come from mini-CRISPR arrays of archaeal viruses, which might represent a strategy

Metagenomic analysis reveals unexplored diversity of archaeal virome in the human gut
Nature Communications, 2022 The human gut microbiome has been extensively explored, while the archaeal viruses remain largely unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the archaeal viruses from the human gut metagenomes and the existing virus collections using the ...

Characterization of the lytic archaeal virus Drs3 infecting Methanobacterium formicicum
Archives of Virology, 2019 Viruses are ubiquitous in the biosphere and greatly affect the hosts they infect. It is generally accepted that members of every microbial taxon are susceptible to at least one virus, and a plethora of bacterial viruses are known.

Structural conservation in a membrane-enveloped filamentous virus infecting a hyperthermophilic acidophile [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Only a few archaeal filamentous viruses have been structurally characterized. Here the authors describe the membrane-enveloped Sulfolobus filamentous virus 1 that infects Sulfolobus shibatae and present its 3.7 Å resolution cryo-EM structure, which ...

Archaeal Viruses Multiply: Temporal Screening in a Solar Saltern
Viruses, 2015 Hypersaline environments around the world are dominated by archaea and their viruses. To date, very little is known about these viruses and their interaction with the host strains when compared to bacterial and eukaryotic viruses. We performed the first
