Pacmanvirus isolated from the Lost City hydrothermal field extends the concept of transpoviron beyond the family Mimiviridae. [PDF]

ISME J
Abstract The microbial sampling of submarine hydrothermal vents remains challenging, with even fewer studies focused on viruses. Here we report what is to our knowledge the first isolation of a eukaryotic virus from the Lost City hydrothermal field, by co-culture with the laboratory host Acanthamoeba castellanii.

Mimiviridae: clusters of orthologous genes, reconstruction of gene repertoire evolution and proposed expansion of the giant virus family [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2013
Abstract Background The family Mimiviridae belongs to the large monophyletic group of Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV; proposed order Megavirales) and encompasses giant viruses infecting amoeba and probably other unicellular eukaryotes.

“Tupanvirus”, a new genus in the family Mimiviridae [PDF]

Archives of Virology, 2018
The genus "Tupanvirus" is a new proposed taxon to be included in the family Mimiviridae. The two known tupanvirus isolates were isolated from soda lake and oceanic sediments samples collected in Brazil and were named "tupanvirus soda lake" and "tupanvirus deep ocean", respectively. These viruses exhibit similarities to amoeba-infecting mimiviruses, but

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. By first focusing on cooling towers using our original time-consuming procedure, we were able to isolate a ...

Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2201-2211, September 2023., 2023
Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

Revolving ATPase motors as asymmetrical hexamers in translocating lengthy dsDNA via conformational changes and electrostatic interactions in phi29, T7, herpesvirus, mimivirus, E. coli, and Streptomyces

Exploration, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
The revolving DNA motors of ATPase have been found in viruses (phi29, T7, herpesvirus, and mimivirus) and bacteria (E. coli and Streptomyces). The motors made of asymmetrical 6 subunits translocate lengthy double‐stranded (ds)DNA. The dsDNA is moved in a circular motion around the inner surface of the motor channel subunits.

Metabolic reconstruction of the near complete microbiome of the model sponge Ianthella basta

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 646-660, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Many marine sponges host highly diverse microbiomes that contribute to various aspects of host health. Although the putative function of individual groups of sponge symbionts has been increasingly described, the extreme diversity has generally precluded in‐depth characterization of entire microbiomes, including identification of syntrophic ...

Identification and Genomic Characterization of Anelloviruses in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Purpose. Metagenomics has revealed that, in addition to the digestive tract, certain viruses are also commonly found in human blood. In order to explore and monitor potential novel viruses, three serum samples of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia were collected at the No. 2 People’s Hospital of Changshu City, China. Materials and Methods.

Tracing the Origin of Genotype II African Swine Fever Virus in China by Genomic Epidemiology Analysis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The pandemic spread of African swine fever (ASF) has caused serious effects on the global pig industry. Virus genome sequencing and genomic epidemiology analysis play an important role in tracking the outbreaks of the disease and tracing the transmission of the virus.

Lateral Gene Transfer Between Protozoa-Related Giant Viruses of Family Mimiviridae and Chlamydiae [PDF]

Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2018
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.
