The virophage as a unique parasite of the giant mimivirus
Nature, 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 ...

The dual lifestyle of genome‐integrating virophages in protists
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019AbstractDNA viruses with efficient host genome integration capability were unknown in eukaryotes until recently. The discovery of virophages, satellite‐like DNA viruses that depend on lytic giant viruses that infect protists, revealed a genetically diverse group of viruses with high genome mobility.

[Prediction of Promoter Motifs in Virophages].
Bing du xue bao = Chinese journal of virology, 2015Virophages have crucial roles in ecosystems and are the transport vectors of genetic materials. To shed light on regulation and control mechanisms in virophage--host systems as well as evolution between virophages and their hosts, the promoter motifs of virophages were predicted on the upstream regions of start codons using an analytical tool for ...

Biggest Known Virus Yields First-Ever Virophage
Microbe Magazine, 2008A newly discovered mammoth mimivirus is itself unexpectedly infected with a tiny icosahedral virus, according to Bernard La Scola and Didier Raoult of the Universite of Mediterranee in Marseille, France, and their collaborators in France and the United States.

Virophages to viromes: a report from the frontier of viral oceanography
Current Opinion in Virology, 2011The investigation of marine viruses has advanced our understanding of ecology, evolution, microbiology, oceanography and virology. Significant findings discussed in this review include the discovery of giant viruses that have genome sizes and metabolic capabilities that distort the line between virus and cell, viruses that participate in photosynthesis
