A Decade of Improvements in Mimiviridae and Marseilleviridae Isolation from Amoeba [PDF]
Intervirology, 2013 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.

Marine and giant viruses as indicators of a marine microbial community in a riverine system [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2016 Viral communities are important for ecosystem function as they are involved in critical biogeochemical cycles and controlling host abundance. This study investigates riverine viral communities around a small rural town that influences local water inputs.

Marine mimivirus relatives are probably large algal viruses [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2008 Background Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus is the largest known ds-DNA virus and its 1.2 Mb-genome sequence has revealed many unique features. Mimivirus occupies an independent lineage among eukaryotic viruses and its known hosts include only species ...

A Next-Generation Sequencing Approach Uncovers Viral Transcripts Incorporated in Poxvirus Virions
Viruses, 2017 Transcripts are known to be incorporated in particles of DNA viruses belonging to the families of Herpesviridae and Mimiviridae, but the presence of transcripts in other DNA viruses, such as poxviruses, has not been analyzed yet.

Role of the R349 Gene and Its Repeats in the MIMIVIRE Defense System
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 MIMIVIRE is a defense system described in lineage A Mimivirus (Mimiviridae family) that mediates resistance against Zamilon virophage. It is composed of putative helicase and nuclease associated with a gene of unknown function called R349, which contains

Seasonal Dynamics of Algae-Infecting Viruses and Their Inferred Interactions with Protists
Viruses, 2019 Viruses are a highly abundant, dynamic, and diverse component of planktonic communities that have key roles in marine ecosystems. We aimed to reveal the diversity and dynamics of marine large dsDNA viruses infecting algae in the Northern Skagerrak, South

Degenerate PCR Primers to Reveal the Diversity of Giant Viruses in Coastal Waters
Viruses, 2018 “Megaviridae” is a proposed family of giant viruses infecting unicellular eukaryotes. These viruses are ubiquitous in the sea and have impact on marine microbial community structure and dynamics through their lytic infection cycle.
