Usurpativirus massiliensis, a new giant virus related to clandestinovirus [PDF]

Virology Journal
Giant virus discovery in 2003 revolutionized the virus paradigm. In 2015, we introduced a new host, Vermamoeba vermiformis, that led to the discovery of Faustovirus, Orpheovirus and two giant viruses (Clandestinovirus and a faustovirus) having distinct ...

Integrative genomic analyses support the division of the extended Asfarviridae clade into multiple viral families [PDF]

Journal of Virology
Giant viruses continue to challenge our understanding of virology, blurring boundaries of what a virus can be. The so-called “extended Asfarviridae”— such as African swine fever virus, faustovirus, kaumoebavirus, pacmanvirus, and AbALV—has long puzzled ...

The Kaumoebavirus LCC10 Genome Reveals a Unique Gene Strand Bias among “Extended Asfarviridae” [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Kaumoebavirus infects the amoeba Vermamoeba vermiformis and has recently been described as a distant relative of the African swine fever virus. To characterize the diversity and evolution of this novel viral genus, we report here on the isolation and ...

“More” Artificial mRNAs: Beyond the Art of Nature [PDF]

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
Inspired by nature yet transcending it, synthetic mRNA is being redesigned beyond the canonical architecture. This review highlights emerging forms—circular, branched, and self‐amplifying mRNAs—that expand stability, persistence, and functional control, illustrating how artificial mRNA is evolving into a new medium for programmable biological ...

Murine Norovirus: Additional Protocols for Basic and Antiviral Studies

Current Protocols, Volume 3, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Murine norovirus (MNV) is a positive‐sense, plus‐stranded RNA virus in the Caliciviridae family. Viruses in this family replicate in the intestine and are transmitted by the fecal‐oral route. MNV is related to the human noroviruses, which cause the majority of nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide.
