Giant virus diversity and host interactions through global metagenomics. [PDF]
Nature, 2020 AbstractOur current knowledge about nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) is largely derived from viral isolates that are co-cultivated with protists and algae. Here we reconstructed 2,074 NCLDV genomes from sampling sites across the globe by building on the rapidly increasing amount of publicly available metagenome data.

Giant variations in giant virus genome packaging
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2023 Giant viruses (Nucleocytoviricota) have a largely conserved lifecycle, yet how they cram their large genomes into viral capsids is mostly unknown. The major capsid protein and the packaging ATPase (pATPase) comprise a highly conserved morphogenesis module in giant viruses, yet some giant viruses dispense with an icosahedral capsid, and others encode ...

Varicella zoster virus and giant cell arteritis [PDF]
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2016 Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a serious disease and the most common cause of vasculitis in the elderly. Here, studies describing the recent discovery of varicella zoster virus (VZV) in the temporal arteries of patients with GCA are reviewed.GCA is characterized by severe headache/head pain and scalp tenderness.

A giant virus infecting the amoeboflagellate Naegleria. [PDF]
Nat CommunAbstractGiant viruses (Nucleocytoviricota) are significant lethality agents of various eukaryotic hosts. Although metagenomics indicates their ubiquitous distribution, available giant virus isolates are restricted to a very small number of protist and algal hosts.

Relapse of polymyalgia rheumatica following adjuvanted influenza vaccine: A case-based review [PDF]
, 2020 Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is the most common inflammatory rheumatological condition affecting individuals aged >50 years. There have been rare reports of PMR and other vasculitides developing within 3 months of influenza vaccination.

A Brief History of Giant Viruses’ Studies in Brazilian Biomes
Viruses, 2022 Almost two decades after the isolation of the first amoebal giant viruses, indubitably the discovery of these entities has deeply affected the current scientific knowledge on the virosphere. Much has been uncovered since then: viruses can now acknowledge

Near-atomic structure of a giant virus. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Abstract Although the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are one of the largest group of viruses that infect many eukaryotic hosts, the near-atomic resolution structures of these viruses have remained unknown. Here we describe a 3.5 Å resolution icosahedrally averaged capsid structure of Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1
