Exposure to Mimivirus collagen promotes arthritis [PDF]

, 2014
Collagens, the most abundant proteins in animals, also occur in some recently described nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses such as Mimiviridae, which replicate in amoebae.

More to Phaeovirus infections than first meets the eye [PDF]

, 2015
Phaeoviruses infect the brown algae, Phaeophyceae. They exploit a Persistent evolutionary strategy via genome integration and are the only known representatives to do so amongst the giant viruses, Megaviridae.

Metavirome and its functional diversity analysis through microbiome study of the Sikkim Himalayan hot spring solfataric mud sediments

Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2020
Viruses are the most prodigious repertory of the genetic material on the earth. They are elusive, breakneck, evolutionary life particles that constitute a riveting concealed world.

BPGA- an ultra-fast pan-genome analysis pipeline [PDF]

, 2016
Recent advances in ultra-high-throughput sequencing technology and metagenomics have led to a paradigm shift in microbial genomics from few genome comparisons to large-scale pan-genome studies at different scales of phylogenetic resolution.

Virus Genomes from Deep Sea Sediments Expand the Ocean Megavirome and Support Independent Origins of Viral Gigantism

mBio, 2019
The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) of eukaryotes (proposed order, “Megavirales”) include the families Poxviridae, Asfarviridae, Iridoviridae, Ascoviridae, Phycodnaviridae, Marseilleviridae, and Mimiviridae, as well as still unclassified ...

Oyster RNA-seq data support the development of Malacoherpesviridae genomics [PDF]

, 2017
The family of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) Malacoherpesviridae includes viruses able to infect marine mollusks and detrimental for worldwide aquaculture production. Due to fast-occurring mortality and a lack of permissive cell lines, the available data on

First Isolation of a Giant Virus from Wild Hirudo medicinalis Leech: Mimiviridae isolation in Hirudo medicinalis

Viruses, 2013
Giant viruses and amoebae are common in freshwater, where they can coexist with other living multicellular organisms. We screened leeches from the species Hirudo medicinalis for giant viruses. We analyzed five H. medicinalis obtained from Tunisia (3) and

Lateral gene exchanges shape the genomes of amoeba-resisting microorganisms. [PDF]

, 2012
Based on Darwin's concept of the tree of life, vertical inheritance was thought to be dominant, and mutations, deletions, and duplication were streaming the genomes of living organisms.

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).
