O-Linked glycosylation in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus [PDF]
, 2017 Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus is a member of the giant nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, infecting various Acanthamoeba spp. The genomes of giant viruses encode components previously thought to be exclusive to cellular life, such as proteins ...

The Virome of Cerebrospinal Fluid: Viruses Where We Once Thought There Were None. [PDF]
, 2019 Traditionally, medicine has held that some human body sites are sterile and that the introduction of microbes to these sites results in infections. This paradigm shifted significantly with the discovery of the human microbiome and acceptance of these ...

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.

Marine mimivirus relatives are probably large algal viruses
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 ...

Genome diversity of marine phages recovered from Mediterranean metagenomes: Size matters [PDF]
, 2017 Marine viruses play a critical role not only in the global geochemical cycles but also in the biology and evolution of their hosts. Despite their importance, viral diversity remains underexplored mostly due to sampling and cultivation challenges.
