A Phylogenomic Study of Acanthamoeba polyphaga Draft Genome Sequences Suggests Genetic Exchanges With Giant Viruses

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Acanthamoeba are ubiquitous phagocytes predominant in soil and water which can ingest many microbes. Giant viruses of amoebae are listed among the Acanthamoeba-resisting microorganisms.

Mimiviridae, Marseilleviridae, and virophages as emerging human pathogens causing healthcare-associated infections

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,

Pan-Genome Analysis of Brazilian Lineage A Amoebal Mimiviruses

Viruses, 2015
Since the recent discovery of Samba virus, the first representative of the family Mimiviridae from Brazil, prospecting for mimiviruses has been conducted in different environmental conditions in Brazil. Recently, we isolated using Acanthamoeba sp.

LAMARCKIAN EVOLUTION OF THE GIANT MIMIVIRUS IN ALLOPATRIC LABORATORY CULTURE ON AMOEBAE

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus has been subcultured 150 times on germ-free amoebae. This allopatric niche is very different from that found in the natural environment, where the virus is in competition with many other organisms.
