Virophages are a new type of satellite viruses that infect giant DNA viruses of the Mimiviridae family. Inside the shared eukaryotic host cell, virophages replicate in the cytoplasmic virion factories of their host viruses.

Virophages are critical regulators of viral population dynamics and potential actors in the stability of the microbial networks. These small biological entities predate the replicative cycle of giant viruses, such as the members of the Mimiviridae family

Les NCLDVs forment un groupe très divers de virus à ADN double brin infectant exclusivement des eucaryotes. Certains de ces virus sont parasités par d’autres virus plus petits, les virophages.

Lateral Gene Transfer Between Protozoa-Related Giant Viruses of Family Mimiviridae and Chlamydiae
Obligate intracellular chlamydiae diverged into pathogenic and environmental chlamydiae 0.7-1.4 billion years ago. While pathogenic chlamydiae have adapted to a wide range of vertebrates, environmental chlamydiae inhabit unicellular amoebae, the free-living Acanthamoeba. However, how and why this divergence occurred remains unclear.
