Study and characterization of Glycosyltransferases from Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus – 1 [PDF]
openGiant Viruses are a class of uncommon cellular parasites discovered about 30 years ago1. They are defined as Nucleo Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) according to the notable viral particle dimensions (about 400nm) and the genome complexity.

Viral outbreak in corals associated with an in situ bleaching event: atypical herpes-like viruses and a new megavirus infecting Symbiodinium [PDF]
Previous studies of coral viruses have employed either microscopy or metagenomics, but few have attempted to comprehensively link the presence of a virus-like particle (VLP) to a genomic sequence. We conducted transmission electron microscopy imaging and

Indentifying and modeling the distribution of cryptic reservoirs of Ebola virus using artificial intelligence [PDF]
Fruit bats (Megachiroptera) have been found to be the principal reservoirs of Ebola virus (EBOV) to humans. However, bats do not appear to be the primary reservoir in the environment and between outbreaks.
