Aherfi S, Boughalmi M, Pagnier I, Fournous G, La Scola B, Raoult D, et al.
Arch Virol . 2014 Apr; 159(9):2349-58. PMID: 24770845
Marseillevirus is the founding member of the proposed family Marseilleviridae, which is the second discovered family of giant viruses that infect amoebae. These viruses have been recovered from environmental water...

PLoS One . 2014 Apr; 9(4):e94923. PMID: 24747414
Virophages, which are potentially important ecological regulators, have been discovered in association with members of the order Megavirales. Sputnik virophages target the Mimiviridae, Mavirus was identified with the Cafeteria roenbergensis...

Viruses . 2013 Nov; 5(12):2920-30. PMID: 24287596
Giant viruses and amoebae are common in freshwater, where they can coexist with other living multicellular organisms. We screened leeches from the species Hirudo medicinalis for giant viruses. We analyzed...

Slimani M, Pagnier I, Boughalmi M, Raoult D, La Scola B
Intervirology . 2013 Oct; 56(6):434-40. PMID: 24157890
Objective: Giant viruses of the Megavirales order have been neglected in the literature because they are removed from samples during viral purification for viral metagenomic studies. Isolation via amoeba coculture...

Intervirology . 2013 Oct; 56(6):386-94. PMID: 24157885
Objective: Giant viruses and amoebae are common in freshwater, where they can coexist with various insects. We screened insect larvae to detect giant viruses using a high-throughput method. Methods: We...

Intervirology . 2013 Oct; 56(6):354-63. PMID: 24157882
Since the isolation of the first giant virus, the Mimivirus, by T.J. Rowbotham in a cooling tower in Bradford, UK, and after its characterisation by our group in 2003, we...

Clin Infect Dis . 2013 May; 57(4):e127-34. PMID: 23709652
Background: Mimiviridae Mimivirus, including the largest known viruses, multiply in amoebae. Mimiviruses have been linked to pneumonia, but they have never been isolated from patients. To further understand the pathogenic...

Environ Microbiol . 2013 Jan; 15(7):2000-7. PMID: 23298151
Giant viruses of the Megavirales order have been recently isolated from aquatic environments and have long been neglected because they are removed from samples during viral purification for viral metagenomic...

J Bacteriol . 2012 Oct; 194(21):5978. PMID: 23045493
Legionella tunisiensis is a gammaproteobacterium from the class Legionellaceae, growing in amoebae. We sequenced the genome from strain LegM(T). It is composed of 3,508,121 bp and contains 4,747 protein-coding genes...
