Giant cell arteritis associated with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection
Reumatismo, 2013 Giant cell arteritis is an inflammatory vasculopathy that preferentially affects medium-sized and large arteries. A viral cause has been suspected but not confirmed in polymyalgia rheumatica and giant-cell arteritis.

Multiple evolutionary origins of giant viruses [version 1; referees: 4 approved]
F1000Research, 2018 The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are a monophyletic group of diverse eukaryotic viruses that reproduce primarily in the cytoplasm of the infected cells and include the largest viruses currently known: the giant mimiviruses, pandoraviruses,

Haptophyte-infecting viruses change the genome condensing proteins of dinoflagellates
Communications BiologyGiant viruses are extraordinary members of the virosphere due to their structural complexity and high diversity in gene content. Haptophytes are ecologically important primary producers in the ocean, and all known viruses that infect haptophytes are ...

eLife, 2018 Giant viruses are ecologically important players in aquatic ecosystems that have challenged concepts of what constitutes a virus. Herein, we present the giant Bodo saltans virus (BsV), the first characterized representative of the most abundant group of ...

Association of Varicella Zoster Virus with Giant Cell Arteritis [PDF]
Monoclonal Antibodies in Immunodiagnosis & Immunotherapy, 2014 Among the many scientific interests of Hilary Koprowski, I believe he was most excited by the possibility that multiple sclerosis (MS) was caused by a virus. Although our close collaboration from 1971 to 1985 did not reveal an association between MS and a virus, if HK (as we affectionately called him) were alive today, I am sure he would be equally ...

Ancestrality and Mosaicism of Giant Viruses Supporting the Definition of the Fourth TRUC of Microbes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Giant viruses of amoebae were discovered in 2003. Since then, their diversity has greatly expanded. They were suggested to form a fourth branch of life, collectively named ‘TRUC’ (for “Things Resisting Uncompleted Classifications”) alongside Bacteria ...

Faustovirus E12 Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Complex Splicing in Capsid Gene
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Faustoviruses are the first giant viruses of amoebae isolated on Vermamoeba vermiformis. They are distantly related to African swine fever virus, the causative agent of lethal hemorrhagic fever in domestic pigs. Structural studies have shown the presence

Journal of VirologyGenomes of giant viruses (phylum Nucleocytoviricota) have increasingly been found integrated into the genomes of diverse eukaryotes. Here, we report eight giant endogenous viral elements (GEVEs) in the genome of the microalgae Euglena gracilis. The GEVEs
