Analysis of a Marseillevirus Transcriptome Reveals Temporal Gene Expression Profile and Host Transcriptional Shift [PDF]
Marseilleviruses comprise a family of large double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to the proposed order “Megavirales.” These viruses have a circular genome of ∼370 kbp, coding hundreds of genes.

A Brazilian Marseillevirus Is the Founding Member of a Lineage in Family Marseilleviridae [PDF]
In 2003, Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) was discovered as parasitizing Acanthamoeba. It was revealed to exhibit remarkable features, especially odd genomic characteristics, and founded viral family Mimiviridae.

Experimental Inoculation in Rats and Mice by the Giant Marseillevirus Leads to Long-Term Detection of Virus [PDF]
The presence of the giant virus of amoeba Marseillevirus has been identified at many different sites on the human body, including in the bloodstream of asymptomatic subjects, in the lymph nodes of a child with adenitis, in one adult with Hodgkin's ...

A new marseillevirus isolated in Southern Brazil from Limnoperna fortunei [PDF]
Members of the family Marseilleviridae are giant viruses that have the ability to infect amoebas. Such viruses were initially described in 2009. Since then, this family has grown, and diverse members have been found in different environments and ...

Marseillevirus in the Pharynx of a Patient with Neurologic Disorders [PDF]
To the Editor: Marseilleviridae is a recently described family of giant amebal viruses (1). Although Marseillevirus, its founding member, and subsequently discovered representatives were isolated primarily from environmental water, marseilleviruses have been recovered from humans (2,3). Senegalvirus, a close Marseillevirus relative, was serendipitously

A Marseillevirus isolate from the Brazilian wetlands. [PDF]
Abstract Marseilleviruses are giant viruses that infect amoebas and have been isolated from various environments. Here, we describe a new strain, isolated from a water sample collected from the Paraguay River in the Brazilian Pantanal, which we have named "Marseillevirus pantanense".

Most virus-infected cells show morphological and behavioral changes, which are called cytopathic effects. Acanthamoeba castellanii, an abundant, free-living protozoan, serves as a laboratory host for some viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota—the ...

Megaviruses contain various genes encoding for eukaryotic vesicle trafficking factors
Giant viruses enter their eukaryotic host cells by phagocytosis. For reproduction, they hijack the host cell's membranes by an unknown mechanism. Here, we found that giant viruses express several core factors of the eukaryotic vesicle fusion machinery, including SNARE, Rab, SM proteins, and the disassembly protein NSF.

Marseillevirus Adenitis in an 11-Month-Old Child [PDF]
ABSTRACT A Marseillevirus (giant virus of amoeba) has been found in the blood and stool samples of individuals who otherwise appear to be healthy. During an attempt to define a serological cutoff for Marseillevirus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in children, we serendipitously detected high antibody responses to ...
