One Health, 2023 Ectoparasites found on bats are known to contain important microbes. However, the viruses hosted by these obligate parasites are understudied. This has led to the near oversight of the potential role of these ectoparasites in virus maintenance and ...

Megavirales Composing a Fourth Domain of Life: Mimiviridae and Marseilleviridae
, 2012 The 2003 discovery of Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus led to several breakthroughs and subsequent discussions related to the evolution, origin and definition of viruses and dramatically boosted scientific interest in giant viruses. Mimivirus was the largest virus with respect to particle size and genome length, and its analysis blurred the paradigms ...

Cryo-EM of aMarseilleviridaevirus particle reveals a large internal microassembly
, 2017 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) blur the line between viruses and cells. Melbournevirus (MelV, fam.Marseilleviridae) belongs to a new family of NCLDVs.

Marseilleviridae Lineage B Diversity and Bunch Formation Inhibited by Galactose. [PDF]
Microbes Environ, 2021 Marseilleviridae is a family of large double-stranded DNA viruses that is currently divided into five subgroups, lineages A-E. Hokutovirus and kashiwazakivirus, both of which belong to lineage B, have been reported to induce host acanthamoeba cells to form aggregations called "bunches".

A rapid genome‐wide analysis of isolated giant viruses using MinION sequencing
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2621-2635, November 2023., 2023 We evaluated performance of MinION sequencing for giant virus genomics. Re‐sequencing of a prototype marseillevirus by MinION alone provided high‐quality genomes. As a proof of concept, we sequenced genomes of newly isolated giant viruses. Collectively, we concluded that MinION sequencing is an effective approach to rapidly perform a genome‐wide ...

Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2201-2211, September 2023., 2023 Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 756-769, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Background It has been estimated that microorganisms are involved in the pathogenesis of approximately 20% of all cancers. Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of malignancy in young men and arise from the precursor cell, germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS).
