Pulmonary Infection Related to Mimivirus in Patient with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that causes oto-sino-pulmonary disease. We report a case of pulmonary infection related to mimivirus in a 10-year-old boy with primary ciliary dyskinesia that was identified using ...

Advances in Mimivirus Pathogenicity

Intervirology, 2010
Viral diseases in the clinical setting have been extensively investigated. Viruses are now considered as potentially responsible for nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Mimivirus is the largest virus known to date.

Comparative genomic and biochemical analyses identify a collagen galactosylhydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase from Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus

Scientific Reports, 2022
Humans and Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus share numerous homologous genes, including collagens and collagen-modifying enzymes. To explore this homology, we performed a genome-wide comparison between human and mimivirus using DELTA-BLAST (Domain ...

Broad spectrum of mimiviridae virophage allows its isolation using a mimivirus reporter. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The giant virus Mimiviridae family includes 3 groups of viruses: group A (includes Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus), group B (includes Moumouvirus) and group C (includes Megavirus chilensis).

Genome Characterization of the First Mimiviruses of Lineage C Isolated in Brazil

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The family Mimiviridae, comprised by giant DNA viruses, has been increasingly studied since the isolation of the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV), in 2003.

Role of the R349 Gene and Its Repeats in the MIMIVIRE Defense System

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
MIMIVIRE is a defense system described in lineage A Mimivirus (Mimiviridae family) that mediates resistance against Zamilon virophage. It is composed of putative helicase and nuclease associated with a gene of unknown function called R349, which contains

Emerging Viral Pathogens in Sturgeon Aquaculture in Poland: Focus on Herpesviruses and Mimivirus Detection

Viruses, 2021
Recently, Poland has become a leading producer of sturgeon meat and caviar in Europe and is one of the largest in the world. The growing importance of this branch of aquaculture means that diseases of these fish, especially viral ones, are becoming the ...

Mimivirus shows dramatic genome reduction after intraamoebal culture [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
Most phagocytic protist viruses have large particles and genomes as well as many laterally acquired genes that may be associated with a sympatric intracellular life (a community-associated lifestyle with viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotes) and the presence of virophages.

Characterization of mimivirus NAD+-dependent DNA ligase

Virology, 2006
Mimivirus, a parasite of Acanthamoeba polyphaga, is the largest DNA virus known; it encodes a cornucopia of proteins with imputed functions in DNA replication, modification, and repair. Here we produced, purified, and characterized mimivirus DNA ligase (MimiLIG), an NAD+-dependent nick joining enzyme homologous to bacterial LigA and entomopoxvirus DNA ...
