Urinary virome perturbations in kidney transplantation [PDF]

, 2018
The human microbiome is important for health and plays a role in essential metabolic functions and protection from certain pathogens. Conversely, dysbiosis of the microbiome is seen in the context of various diseases. Recent studies have highlighted that

New Brazilian giant viruses isolation from environmental samples using a panel of protozoa.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The Megavirales are a newly described order capable of infecting different types of eukaryotic hosts. For the most part, the natural host is unknown.

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.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete genome of Rana grylio virus (RGV) [PDF]

, 2012
Infection with Rana grylio virus (RGV), an iridovirus isolated in China in 1995, resulted in a high mortality rate in frogs. The complete genome sequence of RGV was determined and analyzed.

Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes [PDF]

, 2013
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the

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.
