Marine and giant viruses as indicators of a marine microbial community in a riverine system [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1071-1084, December 2016., 2016
Viral communities are important for ecosystem function as they are involved in critical biogeochemical cycles and controlling host abundance. This study investigates riverine viral communities around a small rural town that influences local water inputs.

Metavirome Survey of Eight Ray-Finned Fishes Revealed Domination of Giant Viral Members of Pandoravirus and Megaviricetes

open access: yes, 2021
Background Fishes are an essential source of food all around the world. The bulk of the microbial diversity in marine ecosystems is uncharacterized, with viruses accounting for most of the remaining diversity.

Giant Viruses—Big Surprises

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Viruses are the most prevalent infectious agents, populating almost every ecosystem on earth. Most viruses carry only a handful of genes supporting their replication and the production of capsids.

Imaging, Tracking and Computational Analyses of Virus Entry and Egress with the Cytoskeleton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Viruses have a dual nature: particles are “passive substances” lacking chemical energy transformation, whereas infected cells are “active substances” turning-over energy.
