The expanding family Marseilleviridae

open access: yesVirology, 2014
The family Marseilleviridae encompasses giant viruses that replicate in free-living Acanthamoeba amoebae. Since the discovery of the founding member Marseillevirus in 2007, 7 new marseilleviruses have been observed, including 3 from environmental freshwater, one from a dipteran, and two from symptom-free humans.

First determination of DNA virus and some additional bacteria from Melophagus ovinus (sheep ked) in Tibet, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Melophagus ovinus (sheep ked) is one of the common ectoparasites in sheep. In addition to causing direct damage to the host through biting and sucking blood, sheep ked is a potential vector of helminths, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses. Sheep M.

Genome Analysis of the First Marseilleviridae Representative from Australia Indicates that Most of Its Genes Contribute to Virus Fitness [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2014
ABSTRACT The family Marseilleviridae consists of Acanthamoeba -infecting large DNA viruses with icosahedral particles ∼0.2 μm in diameter and genome sizes in the 346- to 380-kb range. Since the isolation of Marseillevirus from a cooling tower in Paris (France)
