“Mamonoviridae”, a proposed new family of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota

Archives of Virology, 2023
Acanthamoeba castellanii medusavirus J1 is a giant virus that was isolated from a hot spring in Japan in 2019. Recently, a close relative of this virus, named medusavirus stheno T3, was isolated in Japan. Here, we describe their morphological, genomic, and gene content similarities and also propose to create a new family, "Mamonoviridae", a new genus, "

The morphogenesis of different giant viruses as additional evidence for a common origin of Nucleocytoviricota

Current Opinion in Virology, 2021
Large and giant DNA viruses are a monophyletic group constituting the recently established phylum Nucleocytoviricota. The virus particle morphogenesis of these viruses exhibit striking similarities. Viral factories are established in the host cells where new virions are assembled by recruiting host membranes, forming an inner lipid layer.

Genome-resolved expansion of Nucleocytoviricota and Mirusviricota reveals new diversity, functional potential, and biotechnological applications

ABSTRACT Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) of the phyla Nucleocytoviricota and viruses of the newly proposed Duplodnaviria phylum, Mirusviricota, exhibit taxonomic richness which continues to expand due to metagenomic sequencing of Earth’s biomes.
