Giant Magnetoresistance-based Biosensor for Detection of Influenza A Virus [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
We have developed a simple and sensitive method for the detection of influenza A virus based on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) biosensor. This assay employs monoclonal antibodies to viral nucleoprotein (NP) in combination with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs).

Microscopic Characterization of the Brazilian Giant Samba Virus [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2017
Prior to the discovery of the mimivirus in 2003, viruses were thought to be physically small and genetically simple. Mimivirus, with its ~750-nm particle size and its ~1.2-Mbp genome, shattered these notions and changed what it meant to be a virus. Since this discovery, the isolation and characterization of giant viruses has exploded.

The “Giant Virus Finder” discovers an abundance of giant viruses in the Antarctic dry valleys [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Virology, 2017
The first giant virus was identified in 2003 from a biofilm of an industrial water-cooling tower in England. Later, numerous new giant viruses were found in oceans and freshwater habitats, some of them having even 2,500 genes. We have demonstrated their very likely presence in four soil samples taken from the Kutch Desert (Gujarat, India).

A Giant Virus in Amoebae

Science, 2003
During a study following a pneumonia outbreak in 1992, a microorganism growing in amoebae and resembling a small Gram-positive coccus ([Fig. 1][1]A) was isolated from the water of a cooling tower in Bradford, England.

Giant-cell pneumonia caused by parainfluenza virus

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1979
IN 1959, Enders and collaborators I isolated measles virus from the lungs of patients dying of giant cell pneumonia. Since then, this virus has been firmly established as a causative agent of this disease in patients with leukemia ~ or immunodeficiency diseases? A recent pathology textbook describes measles virus as the sole agent responsible for giant

The evolution of giant virus genomes

Science, 2017
Viral Genomics Some giant viruses encode a genome larger than that of some bacteria, but their evolutionary history is a mystery. Examining the genomes within a sample from a wastewater treatment plant in Austria, Schulz et al. assembled a previously undiscovered giant virus genome, which they used to mine genetic databases for related viruses.

Microbe makes a virus to fight a giant virus

New Scientist, 2016
A voracious marine predator plagued by a giant virus has a defense system people have never seen before--it fights back by making its very own virus. The individuals that make these bioweapons sacrifice themselves to save their fellow predators. The single-celled predator, Cafeteria roenbergensis, swims in coastal waters catching bacteria.

Giants among larges: how gigantism impacts giant virus entry into amoebae

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2016
The proposed order Megavirales comprises the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV), infecting a wide range of hosts. Over time, they co-evolved with different host cells, developing various strategies to penetrate them. Mimiviruses and other giant viruses enter cells through phagocytosis, while Marseillevirus and other large viruses explore ...
