Pithovirus sibericum, a new bona fide member of the “Fourth TRUC” club
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, or representatives of the proposed order Megavirales, include giant viruses of Acanthamoeba that were discovered over the last 12 years and are bona fide microbes.

Faustoviruses: Comparative Genomics of New Megavirales Family Members
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 An emerging interest for the giant virus discovery process, genome sequencing and analysis has allowed an expansion of the number of known Megavirales members. Using the protist Vermamoeba sp. as cell support, a new giant virus named Faustovirus has been

Promoter Motifs in NCLDVs: An Evolutionary Perspective
Viruses, 2017 For many years, gene expression in the three cellular domains has been studied in an attempt to discover sequences associated with the regulation of the transcription process. Some specific transcriptional features were described in viruses, although few

MG-Digger: An Automated Pipeline to Search for Giant Virus-Related Sequences in Metagenomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The number of metagenomic studies conducted each year is growing dramatically. Storage and analysis of such big data is difficult and time-consuming. Interestingly, analysis shows that environmental and human metagenomes include a significant amount of ...

Marseilleviruses: An Update in 2021
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The family Marseilleviridae was the second family of giant viruses that was described in 2013, after the family Mimiviridae. Marseillevirus marseillevirus, isolated in 2007 by coculture on Acanthamoeba polyphaga, is the prototype member of this family ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 2987-2995, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The emergence of high consequence animal diseases usually requires managing significant mortality. A desirable aspect of any carcass management method is the ability to contain and inactivate the target pathogen. The above‐ground burial (AGB) technique was recently developed and proposed as an alternative carcass management method.

Taxonomic, functional and expression analysis of viral communities associated with marine sponges [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Viruses play an essential role in shaping the structure and function of ecological communities. Marine sponges have the capacity to filter large volumes of ‘virus-laden’ seawater through their bodies and host dense communities of microbial symbionts ...
