  2. Virophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virophage

    (A) When the host cell is only infected by a giant virus, the latter establishes a cytoplasmic virus factory to replicate and generates new virions, and the host cell is most likely lysed at the end of its replication cycle. (B) When the host cell is co-infected with a giant virus and its virophage, the latter parasitizes the giant virus factory.

  5. Viral plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_plaque

    Plaques from a virus isolated from a compost heap near UCLA. The bacterium is M. smegmatis. A viral plaque is a visible structure formed after introducing a viral sample to a cell culture grown on some nutrient medium. The virus will replicate and spread, generating regions of cell destruction known as plaques.

  6. Zamilon virophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamilon_virophage

    Zamilon was discovered in 2013, in Acanthamoeba polyphaga amoebae co-infected with the giant virus Mont1, isolated from a Tunisian soil sample. [2] [3] [5] As of 2015, Zamilon is one of three virophages to have been isolated physically, the others being Sputnik and Mavirus; several other virophage DNAs have been discovered using metagenomics but have not been characterised physically.
