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.

Inside the Lifestyle of the Virophage [PDF]

Intervirology, 2010
Objective(s): We sought to better characterize Sputnik, the first isolated virophage, and to analyze its parasitic lifestyle during co-infection with Marseillevirus (a new giant virus) in Acanthamoeba castellanii. Methods: A combination of electron microscopy, immunofluorescence microscopy, and ...

Diversity of Virophages in Metagenomic Data Sets [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2013
ABSTRACT Virophages, e.g., Sputnik, Mavirus, and Organic Lake virophage (OLV), are unusual parasites of giant double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses, yet little is known about their diversity. Here, we describe the global distribution, abundance, and genetic diversity of virophages based on analyzing and mapping comprehensive metagenomic

The Virophage Family Lavidaviridae [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2018
Double-stranded (ds) DNA viruses of the family Lavidaviridae, commonly known as virophages, are a fascinating group of eukaryotic viruses that depend on a coinfecting giant dsDNA virus of the Mimiviridae for their propagation. Instead of replicating in the nucleus, virophages multiply in the cytoplasmic virion factory of a coinfecting giant virus ...

Evolution of exploitation and replication of giant viruses and virophages. [PDF]

Virus Evol
Abstract Tripartite biotic interactions are inherently complex, and the strong interdependence of species and often one-sided exploitation can make these systems vulnerable to extinction. The persistence of species depends then on the balance between exploitation and avoidance of exploitation beyond the point where sustainable resource ...

Three Novel Virophage Genomes Discovered from Yellowstone Lake Metagenomes [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2014
ABSTRACT Virophages are a unique group of circular double-stranded DNA viruses that are considered parasites of giant DNA viruses, which in turn are known to infect eukaryotic hosts. In this study, the genomes of three novel Yellowstone Lake virophages (YSLVs)—YSLV5, YSLV6, and YSLV7—were identified from Yellowstone Lake through metagenomic ...
