Mimivirus Circulation among Wild and Domestic Mammals, Amazon Region, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
To investigate circulation of mimiviruses in the Amazon Region of Brazil, we surveyed 513 serum samples from domestic and wild mammals. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 15 sample pools, and mimivirus DNA was detected in 9 pools of serum from ...

Smaller Fleas: Viruses of Microorganisms

Scientifica, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Life forms can be roughly differentiated into those that are microscopic versus those that are not as well as those that are multicellular and those that, instead, are unicellular. Cellular organisms seem generally able to host viruses, and this propensity carries over to those that are both microscopic and less than truly multicellular.

Analysis of a Marseillevirus Transcriptome Reveals Temporal Gene Expression Profile and Host Transcriptional Shift

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Marseilleviruses comprise a family of large double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to the proposed order “Megavirales.” These viruses have a circular genome of ∼370 kbp, coding hundreds of genes.

Identification of giant Mimivirus protein functions using RNA interference

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Genomic analysis of giant viruses, such as Mimivirus, has revealed that more than half of the putative genes have no known functions (ORFans). We knocked down Mimivirus genes using short interfering RNA (siRNA) as a proof of concept to determine the ...

Supplementary Material for: Reclassification of Giant Viruses Composing a Fourth Domain of Life in the New Order Megavirales

, 2017
Interest in giant viruses has risen sharply since 2003, following the discovery of the Mimivirus and four other protist-infecting giant viruses that are linked to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs).

Experimental Inoculation in Rats and Mice by the Giant Marseillevirus Leads to Long-Term Detection of Virus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The presence of the giant virus of amoeba Marseillevirus has been identified at many different sites on the human body, including in the bloodstream of asymptomatic subjects, in the lymph nodes of a child with adenitis, in one adult with Hodgkin's ...

Pan-Genome Analysis of Brazilian Lineage A Amoebal Mimiviruses

Viruses, 2015
Since the recent discovery of Samba virus, the first representative of the family Mimiviridae from Brazil, prospecting for mimiviruses has been conducted in different environmental conditions in Brazil. Recently, we isolated using Acanthamoeba sp.
