From Mimivirus to Mirusvirus: The Quest for Hidden Giants. [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 Our perception of viruses has been drastically evolving since the inception of the field of virology over a century ago. In particular, the discovery of giant viruses from the Nucleocytoviricota phylum marked a pivotal moment.

Mimivirus in Pneumonia Patients
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 Mimivirus, the largest virus known to date, is an amebal pathogen like Legionella spp. When mimivirus was used as an antigen in a migration inhibition factor assay, seroconversion was found in patients with both community- and hospital-acquired pneumonia.

Cytopathic effects in Mimivirus infection: understanding the kinetics of virus-cell interaction. [PDF]
Mem Inst Oswaldo CruzBACKGROUND Giant viruses have brought new insights into different aspects of virus-cell interactions. The resulting cytopathic effects from these interactions are one of the main aspects of infection assessment in a laboratory routine, mainly reflecting ...
