Marseillevirus Adenitis in an 11-Month-Old Child [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013 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 ...

Marseillevirus, blood safety, and the human virome. [PDF]
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013 range from familiar viruses that can infect humans and other vertebrates, such as those of the Poxviridae and Asfarviridae (the cause of African swine fever) families, respectively, to poorly understood viruses that seem to primarily infect insects, Paramecium, algae, or, as in the case of Marseilleviridae, amoebae.

First Isolation of a Marseillevirus in the Diptera Syrphidae Eristalis tenax [PDF]
Intervirology, 2013 Objective: Giant viruses and amoebae are common in freshwater, where they can coexist with various insects. We screened insect larvae to detect giant viruses using a high-throughput method.

Isolation and Quantification of Mimivirus-Like and Marseillevirus-Like Viruses from Soil Samples in An Aboriginal (Orang asli) Village in Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
Intervirology, 2018 The giant amoebal viruses of Mimivirus and Marseillevirus are large DNA viruses and have been documented in water, soil, and sewage samples. The trend of discovering these giant amoebal viruses has been increasing throughout Asia with Japan, India, and Saudi Arabia being the latest countries to document the presence of these viruses.

Giant Marseillevirus highlights the role of amoebae as a melting pot in emergence of chimeric microorganisms [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 Giant viruses such as Mimivirus isolated from amoeba found in aquatic habitats show biological sophistication comparable to that of simple cellular life forms and seem to evolve by similar mechanisms, including extensive gene duplication and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), possibly in part through a viral parasite, the virophage.

Phylogenetic and phyletic studies of informational genes in genomes highlight existence of a 4 domain of life including giant viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The discovery of Mimivirus, with its very large genome content, made it possible to identify genes common to the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea) and to generate controversial phylogenomic trees congruent with that of ribosomal genes,

Ubiquitous giants: a plethora of giant viruses found in Brazil and Antarctica
Virology Journal, 2018 Background Since the discovery of giant viruses infecting amoebae in 2003, many dogmas of virology have been revised and the search for these viruses has been intensified.

Giant virus vs amoeba: fight for supremacy
Virology Journal, 2019 Since the discovery of mimivirus, numerous giant viruses associated with free-living amoebae have been described. The genome of giant viruses can be more than 2.5 megabases, and virus particles can exceed the size of many bacteria.
