Samba virus: a novel mimivirus from a giant rain forest, the Brazilian Amazon

14 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The identification of novel giant viruses from the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses group and their virophages has increased in the last decade and has helped to shed light on viral evolution. This study describe the discovery, isolation and characterization of Samba virus (SMBV), a novel giant virus belonging to the Mimivirus genus, which was isolated from the Negro River in the Brazilian Amazon....
