Researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa have discovered that a virus, FloV-SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed ...

Giant viruses, scientifically termed Nucleocytoviricota, are a virus group identified just two decades ago, primarily infecting single-celled organisms. These viruses rival bacteria in size ...

Weizmann Institute researchers have developed a new way to track the culprit – giant viruses – and identify their traces in specific types of tiny algae that they attack.

With the discovery of Mimivirus — the largest, most complex virus currently known — these assumptions may need to be reevaluated. This giant virus has a much larger size and bigger genome than ...

The team, led by Professor Masaharu Takemura at the Tokyo University of Science, did so by making use of a particular type of virus: Mimivirus. To attempt to visualize how it infects cells in real ...

Scientists from the Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences found forty new freshwater viruses infecting aquatic microorganisms this year. The first one, which they isolated and described ...

The key to this process was a unique ‘giant’ virus known as Mimivirus. This research was co-authored by Ms. Kanako Morioka and Ms. Ayumi Fujieda at Tokyo’s Yone Production Co., Tokyo ...

Kaseya is terminating its relationship with embattled Kaspersky, telling MSPs that it is ceasing support for the Moscow-based cybersecurity giant’s anti-virus product. The action by Kaseya ...

Preferential production of virus proteins? Previous discoveries have shown that, like FloV-SA2, other so-called 'giant' viruses code for proteins involved in a wide range of metabolic processes.
