Structural and Mechanistic Analyses Reveal a Unique Cas4-like Protein in the Mimivirus Virophage Resistance Element System

iScience, 2018
Summary: A clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-like “mimivirus virophage resistance element” (MIMIVIRE) system, which contains specific cascade genes and a CRISPR array against virophages, was reported in mimiviruses.

The origins of giant viruses, virophages and their relatives in host genomes

BMC Biology, 2014
Giant viruses have revealed a number of surprises that challenge conventions on what constitutes a virus. The Samba virus newly isolated in Brazil expands the known distribution of giant mimiviruses to a near-global scale.

Giant viruses coexisted with the cellular ancestors and represent a distinct supergroup along with superkingdoms Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The discovery of giant viruses with genome and physical size comparable to cellular organisms, remnants of protein translation machinery and virus-specific parasites (virophages) have raised intriguing questions about their origin.

Endemicity and prevalence of multipartite viruses under heterogeneous between-host transmission

, 2019
Multipartite viruses replicate through a puzzling evolutionary strategy. Their genome is segmented into two or more parts, and encapsidated in separate particles that appear to propagate independently.

Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirusVirophage 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 source of the virophage. This virophage, associated with giant viruses suspected to cause pneumonia,

Prevalence of the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium on three organic pig farms in Denmark [PDF]

, 2013
Pigs are potential sources of contamination with Cryptosporidium spp., which can lead to infection in humans. Cryptosporidiosis in humans is primarily caused by two species, C. hominis and the zoonotic C. parvum, however, other species including C.

A survey of transposable element classification systems--a call for a fundamental update to meet the challenge of their diversity and complexity. [PDF]

, 2015
The increase of publicly available sequencing data has allowed for rapid progress in our understanding of genome composition. As new information becomes available we should constantly be updating and reanalyzing existing and newly acquired data.
