Officially described in 2003, giant viruses (GVs, phylum *Nucleocytoviricota*) form a monophyletic group of eukaryotic double-stranded DNA viruses. They have significantly disrupted traditional virology, particularly due to their large sizes (capsids of 150 nm in diameter and above), complex structures, and genomes that can exceed 2.5 megabases and ...
