Sputnik, a Virophage Infecting the Viral Domain of Life
2012This chapter discusses the astonishing discovery of the Sputnik virophage, a new virus infecting giant viruses of the genera Mimivirus and Mamavirus. While other virophages have also since been described, this chapter focuses mainly on Sputnik, which is the best described.

AbstractGiant viruses can control their eukaryotic host populations, shaping the ecology and evolution of aquatic microbial communities. Understanding the impact of the viruses’ own parasites, the virophages, on their control of microbial communities remains a challenge. Most virophages have two modes of host infection and replication.

[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 ...

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
