A Decade of Improvements in Mimiviridae and Marseilleviridae Isolation from Amoeba
Since the isolation of the first giant virus, the Mimivirus, by T.J. Rowbotham in a cooling tower in Bradford, UK, and after its characterisation by our group in 2003, we have continued to develop novel strategies to isolate additional strains.

¿Qué hacen aquí estos virus gigantes?: Nuevos aspectos sobre la explicación del origen y evolución de los virus [PDF]
Megaviruses or giant viruses infect amoebas and exhibit remarkable features inside of the viral world. The sizes of their virions are between 2 and 15 times larger than the known large viruses, such as pox-, herpes- and iridoviruses, and their genomes ...

Giant viruses inhibit superinfection by downregulating phagocytosis in Acanthamoeba [PDF]
In the context of the virosphere, viral particles can compete for host cells. In this scenario, some viruses block the entry of exogenous virions upon infecting a cell, a phenomenon known as superinfection inhibition.

Innate immune sensing of virus infection and viral evasion strategies [PDF]
Viral infections are a leading cause of death. Recognition of viruses by cellular sensors (such as RIG-I, MDA5, and cGAS) is a crucial step in the initiation of immune responses and therefore is a common target for viral antagonism.
