Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The family Marseilleviridae consists of Acanthamoeba-infecting large DNA viruses with icosahedral particles ∼ 0.2 μm in diameter and genome sizes in the 346- to 380-kb range. Since the isolation of Marseillevirus from a cooling tower in Paris (France) in 2009, the family Marseilleviridae has expanded rapidly, with representatives from Europe and Africa. Five members have been fully sequenced that are...
