GMS Hygiene and Infection Control, 2014 [english] Aim: During the last decade it became obvious that viruses belonging to and families (order Megavirales), may be potential causative agents of pneumonia. Thus, we have performed a review of the association of , , and virophages with pneumonia,

Evolution and Phylogeny of large DNA viruses, Mimiviridae and Phycodnaviridae including newly characterized Heterosigma akashiwo virus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses are a large group of viruses that harbor double-stranded DNA genomes with sizes of several hundred kbp, challenging the traditional concept of viruses as small, simple ‘organisms at the edge of life’.

Isolation and complete genome sequencing of Mimivirus bombay, a Giant Virus in sewage of Mumbai, India [PDF]
Genomics Data, 2016 We report the isolation and complete genome sequencing of a new Mimiviridae family member, infecting Acanthamoeba castellanii, from sewage in Mumbai, India. The isolated virus has a particle size of about 435 nm and a 1,182,200-bp genome.

Metagenomic Analysis of Virus Diversity and Relative Abundance in a Eutrophic Freshwater Harbour [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 Aquatic viruses have been extensively studied over the past decade, yet fundamental aspects of freshwater virus communities remain poorly described. Our goal was to characterize virus communities captured in the >0.22 µm size-fraction seasonally ...

Genomic comparison of closely related Giant Viruses supports an accordion-like model of evolution.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Genome gigantism occurs so far in Phycodnaviridae and Mimiviridae (order Megavirales). Origin and evolution of these Giant Viruses (GVs) remain open questions.

Extensive in silico analysis of Mimivirus coded Rab GTPase homolog suggests a possible role in virion membrane biogenesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Rab GTPases are the key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking in eukaryotes. Many viruses and intracellular bacterial pathogens have evolved to hijack the host Rab GTPase functions, mainly through activators and effector proteins, for their ...

PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundA recent work has provided strong arguments in favor of a fourth domain of Life composed of nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs). This hypothesis was supported by phylogenetic and phyletic analyses based on a common set of proteins ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 While viruses with distinct phylogenetic origins and different nucleic acid types can infect and lyse eukaryotic phytoplankton, “giant” dsDNA viruses have been found to be associated with important ecological processes, including the collapse of algal ...

Taxonomic update for giant viruses in the order Imitervirales (phylum Nucleocytoviricota). [PDF]
Arch Virol, 2023 Large DNA viruses in the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, sometimes referred to as “giant viruses” owing to their large genomes and virions, have been the subject of burgeoning interest over the last decade. Here, we describe recently adopted taxonomic updates

Gut Virome: What's the Role in Irritable Bowel Syndrome? [PDF]
Rev Med VirolABSTRACT The gut virome, an integral but still poorly understood component of the gut microbiota, is emerging as an important player in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Recent evidence suggests that alterations in virome diversity and phage–bacteria interactions contribute to gut dysbiosis, immune modulation and gut barrier ...
