The Expanding Family of Virophages [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2016
Virophages replicate with giant viruses in the same eukaryotic cells. They are a major component of the specific mobilome of mimiviruses. Since their discovery in 2008, five other representatives have been isolated, 18 new genomes have been described, two of which being nearly completely sequenced, and they have been classified in a new viral family ...

Virophages or satellite viruses?

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2011
It has been argued that the smaller viruses associated with giant DNA viruses are a new biological entity. However, Mart Krupovic and Virginija Cvirkaite-Krupovic argue here that these smaller viruses should be classified with the satellite viruses.

Diversity of Virophages in Metagenomic Data Sets [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Disentangling the origins of virophages and polintons [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Virology, 2017
Virophages and polintons are part of a complex system that also involves eukaryotes, giant viruses, as well as other viruses and transposable elements. Virophages are cosmopolitan, being found in environments ranging from the Amazon River to Antarctic hypersaline lakes, while polintons are found in many single celled and multicellular eukaryotes ...

Mimivirus and its Virophage

Annual Review of Genetics, 2009
Mimivirus, a virus infecting amoebae of the acanthamoeba genus, is the prototype member of the Mimiviridae, the latest addition to the family of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, already including the Poxviridae, the Iridoviridae, the Asfarviridae, and the Phycodnaviridae.

The dual lifestyle of genome‐integrating virophages in protists

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019
AbstractDNA 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.
