Importance of amoebae as a tool to isolate amoeba-resisting microorganisms and for their ecology and evolution: the Chlamydia paradigm. [PDF]
, 2014 Free-living amoebae are distributed worldwide and are frequently in contact with humans and animals. As cysts, they can survive in very harsh conditions and resist biocides and most disinfection procedures. Several microorganisms, called amoeba-resisting

Viral Diversity in Benthic Abyssal Ecosystems: Ecological and Methodological Considerations [PDF]
, 2023 Viruses are the most abundant 'biological entities' in the world's oceans. However, technical and methodological constraints limit our understanding of their diversity, particularly in benthic abyssal ecosystems (>4000 m depth).

Smaller Fleas: Viruses of Microorganisms
Scientifica, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Life forms can be roughly differentiated into those that are microscopic versus those that are not as well as those that are multicellular and those that, instead, are unicellular. Cellular organisms seem generally able to host viruses, and this propensity carries over to those that are both microscopic and less than truly multicellular.

Amoebae, Giant Viruses, and Virophages Make Up a Complex, Multilayered Threesome
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Viral infection had not been observed for amoebae, until the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) was discovered in 2003. APMV belongs to the nucleocytoplasmatic large DNA virus (NCLDV) family and infects not only A.
