Influenza Virus A (H1N1) in Giant Anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 In February 2007, an outbreak of respiratory disease occurred in a group of giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) at the Nashville Zoo. Isolates from 2 affected animals were identified in March 2007 as a type A influenza virus related to human influenza subtype H1N1.

Boiling Acid Mimics Intracellular Giant Virus Genome Release [PDF]
, 2019 SummarySince their discovery, giant viruses have expanded our understanding of the principles of virology. Due to their gargantuan size and complexity, little is known about the life cycles of these viruses. To answer outstanding questions regarding giant virus infection mechanisms, we set out to determine biomolecular conditions that promote giant ...

Continuous year-round isolation of giant viruses from brackish shoreline soils
Frontiers in MicrobiologyGiant viruses, categorized under Nucleocytoviricota, are believed to exist ubiquitously in natural environments. However, comprehensive reports on isolated giant viruses remain scarce, with limited information available on unrecoverable strains, viral ...
