Exploring Viral Diversity in a Unique South African Soil Habitat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve in the Cape Floral Kingdom in South Africa is known for its unique plant biodiversity. The potential presence of unique microbial and viral biodiversity associated with this unique plant biodiversity led us to explore the ...

Virophages go nuclear in the marine alga Bigelowiella natans [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
The virus world in which we live will never cease to amaze us. Historically, viruses were studied primarily from medical and economic perspectives; however, the last decades have shown that viruses play roles far more versatile than we could have imagined.

The virophage as a unique parasite of the giant mimivirus

open access: yesNature, 2008
Viruses are obligate parasites of Eukarya, Archaea and Bacteria. Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) is the largest known virus; it grows only in amoeba and is visible under the optical microscope. Mimivirus possesses a 1,185-kilobase double-stranded linear chromosome whose coding capacity is greater than that of numerous bacteria and archaea1, 2 ...
