Diversity of Surface Fibril Patterns in Mimivirus Isolates
Journal of Virology, 2023 Mimivirus fibrils are intriguing structures that have drawn attention since their discovery. Although still under investigation, the function of fibrils may be related to host cell adhesion.

Identification of giant Mimivirus protein functions using RNA interference
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Genomic analysis of giant viruses, such as Mimivirus, has revealed that more than half of the putative genes have no known functions (ORFans). We knocked down Mimivirus genes using short interfering RNA (siRNA) as a proof of concept to determine the ...

Vaccinia-like cytoplasmic replication of the giant Mimivirus [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 Poxviruses are considered to be unique among all DNA viruses, because their infection cycle is carried out exclusively in the host cytoplasm. Such an infection strategy is of interest, because it necessitates generation of elaborate factories in which viral replication and assembly are promoted. By using diverse imaging techniques, we show

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Metatranscriptomic analysis of Centaurea cyanus revealed diverse plant‐associated viral and bacterial sequences in herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant biotypes. While novel partitiviruses occurred independently of resistance status, differences in bacterial community composition may suggest a potential role of the plant microbiome in responses to ...

A Family of Novel Cyclophilins, Conserved in the Mimivirus Genus of the Giant DNA Viruses
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2018 The cyclophilin (abbreviated here as CYN) family represents a large group of protein prolyl isomerase (PPIase), many of which are also chaperones that promote proper folding of a large variety of client proteins. Over the past few years, megaviruses with

Mimivirus Circulation among Wild and Domestic Mammals, Amazon Region, Brazil
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To investigate circulation of mimiviruses in the Amazon Region of Brazil, we surveyed 513 serum samples from domestic and wild mammals. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 15 sample pools, and mimivirus DNA was detected in 9 pools of serum from ...

Phylogenetic and phyletic studies of informational genes in genomes highlight existence of a 4 domain of life including giant viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The discovery of Mimivirus, with its very large genome content, made it possible to identify genes common to the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea) and to generate controversial phylogenomic trees congruent with that of ribosomal genes,

Advances in Virology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is Kenya’s second most important agricultural product after maize, serving as a vital source of protein for many rural families in Western Kenya. However, viral diseases caused by RNA and DNA viruses greatly impair bean productivity, often leading to yield losses of up to 100%, thus contributing to food insecurity ...
