Fecal Viral Community Responses to High-Fat Diet in Mice. [PDF]

, 2020
Alterations in diet can have significant impact on the host, with high-fat diet (HFD) leading to obesity, diabetes, and inflammation of the gut.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]

, 2013
Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...

High-level diversity of tailed phages, eukaryote-associated viruses, and virophage-like elements in the metaviromes of Antarctic soils [PDF]

, 2014
The metaviromes of two distinct Antarctic hyperarid desert soil communities have been characterized. Hypolithic communities, cyanobacterium-dominated assemblages situated on the ventral surfaces of quartz pebbles embedded in the desert pavement, showed

Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus Virophage Seroconversion in Travelers Returning from Laos

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
During January 2010, a husband and wife returned from Laos to France with probable parasitic disease. Increased antibodies against an Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus virophage indicated seroconversion. While in Laos, they had eaten raw fish, a potential

Diversity, evolution, and classification of virophages uncovered through global metagenomics

Microbiome, 2019
Background Virophages are small viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes that replicate along with giant viruses and co-infect eukaryotic cells. Due to the paucity of virophage reference genomes, a collective understanding of the global virophage ...

Virophages of Giant Viruses: An Update at Eleven

Viruses, 2019
The last decade has been marked by two eminent discoveries that have changed our perception of the virology field: The discovery of giant viruses and a distinct new class of viral agents that parasitize their viral factories, the virophages.

Integrative omics analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virus PA5oct highlights the molecular complexity of jumbo phages [PDF]

, 2020
Pseudomonas virus vB_PaeM_PA5oct is proposed as a model jumbo bacteriophage to investigate phage-bacteria interactions and is a candidate for phage therapy applications.

Identification of Capsid/Coat Related Protein Folds and Their Utility for Virus Classification [PDF]

, 2017
The viral supergroup includes the entire collection of known and unknown viruses that roam our planet and infect life forms. The supergroup is remarkably diverse both in its genetics and morphology and has historically remained difficult to study and ...

Polar Microalgae: New Approaches towards Understanding Adaptations to an Extreme and Changing Environment [PDF]

, 2014
Polar Regions are unique and highly prolific ecosystems characterized by extreme environmental gradients. Photosynthetic autotrophs, the base of the food web, have had to adapt physiological mechanisms to maintain growth, reproduction and metabolic ...
