Simultaneous Giant Virus and Virophage Quantification Using Droplet Digital PCR
Viruses, 2022 Viruses are an abundant component of aquatic systems, but their detection and quantification remain a challenge. Virophages co-replicate with giant viruses in the shared host cell, and can inhibit the production of new giant virus particles, thereby ...

Sputnik virophage disrupts the transcriptional regulation of its host giant virus
Journal of VirologySputnik virophages are small double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses that replicate only inside host amoebae infected with giant dsDNA viruses, mimiviruses.

Asfarviruses and Closely Related Giant Viruses
Viruses, 2023 Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus, so called because of its “mimicking microbe”, was discovered in 2003 and was the founding member of the first family of giant viruses isolated from amoeba.

Molecular biology of giant viruses' DNA replication machinery [PDF]
, 2013 Viruses are the most widespread and abundant entity on this planet, further constituting the largest part of the genosphere. The majority of these infectious agents are miniature, having been described as being smaller than the smallest bacteria.

Quantitative Infection Dynamics of Cafeteria Roenbergensis Virus
Viruses, 2018 The discovery of giant viruses in unicellular eukaryotic hosts has raised new questions on the nature of viral life. Although many steps in the infection cycle of giant viruses have been identified, the quantitative life history traits associated with ...

Past and present giant viruses diversity explored through permafrost metagenomics
Nature Communications, 2022 Although giant viruses are abundant in aquatic environments, less is known about giant viruses in soil. Here, the authors use permafrost metagenomics to reveal giant virus diversity and heterogeneity, as well as gene transfers between viruses from ...

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
