A long-term prospecting study on giant viruses in terrestrial and marine Brazilian biomes [PDF]

Virology Journal
The discovery of mimivirus in 2003 prompted the search for novel giant viruses worldwide. Despite increasing interest, the diversity and distribution of giant viruses is barely known.

Virome of Giant Panda-Infesting Ticks Reveals Novel Bunyaviruses and Other Viruses That Are Genetically Close to Those from Giant Pandas

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Tick infestations have been reported as one of the factors threatening the health of giant pandas, but studies of viral pathogens carried by ticks feeding on the blood of giant pandas are limited. To assess whether blood-sucking ticks of giant pandas can

Advantages and Limits of Metagenomic Assembly and Binning of a Giant Virus

mSystems, 2020
Giant viruses have large genomes, often within the size range of cellular organisms. This distinguishes them from most other viruses and demands additional effort for the successful recovery of their genomes from environmental sequence data.

Giant Virus Infection Signatures Are Modulated by Euphotic Zone Depth Strata and Iron Regimes of the Subantarctic Southern Ocean

mSystems, 2023
Viruses can alter the abundance, evolution, and metabolism of microorganisms in the ocean, playing a key role in water column biogeochemistry and global carbon cycles. Large efforts to measure the contribution of eukaryotic microorganisms (e.g., protists)

Proteorhodopsin genes in giant viruses [PDF]

Biology Direct, 2012
Viruses with large genomes encode numerous proteins that do not directly participate in virus biogenesis but rather modify key functional systems of infected cells. We report that a distinct group of giant viruses infecting unicellular eukaryotes that includes Organic Lake Phycodnaviruses and Phaeocystis globosa virus encode predicted proteorhodopsins ...

Giant virus vs amoeba: fight for supremacy

Virology Journal, 2019
Since the discovery of mimivirus, numerous giant viruses associated with free-living amoebae have been described. The genome of giant viruses can be more than 2.5 megabases, and virus particles can exceed the size of many bacteria.

Near-atomic, non-icosahedrally averaged structure of giant virus Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1

Nature Communications, 2022
Giant viruses are large DNA viruses with capsid diameters up to 500 nm. Given technical challenges only few high-resolution structures of viral capsids exist. Here, Shao et al.
