  2. Megavirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megavirus

    [citation needed] It exhibits 7 aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (Table 2), the archetypes of enzymes previously thought only to be encoded by cellular organisms. While 4 of these enzymes were known to be present in Mimivirus and Mamavirus (for tyrosine, arginine, cysteine, and methionine), Megavirus exhibits three more (for tryptophan, asparagine ...

  3. Mimivirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimivirus

    Mimivirus, short for "mimicking microbe", is so called to reflect its large size and apparent Gram-staining properties. [5] Mimivirus has a large and complex genome compared with most other viruses. Until 2013, when a larger virus Pandoravirus was described, it had the largest capsid diameter of all known viruses. [6]

    [21] [22] According to the World Health Organization, approximately 10 million new TB infections occur every year, and 1.5 million people die from it each year – making it the world's top infectious killer (before COVID-19 pandemic). [21] However, there is a lack of sources which describe major TB epidemics with definite time spans and death ...

  6. Mycovirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycovirus

    According to Koonin, [23] RNA viruses colonized eukaryotes first and subsequently co-evolved with their hosts. This concept fits well with the proposed "ancient co-evolution hypothesis", which also assumes a long co-evolution of viruses and fungi. [1] [13] The "ancient co-evolution hypothesis" could explain why mycoviruses are so diverse. [13] [24]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogenic_fungus

    Pathogenic fungi are fungi that cause disease in humans or other organisms. Although fungi are eukaryotic, many pathogenic fungi are microorganisms. [1] Approximately 300 fungi are known to be pathogenic to humans; [2] their study is called "medical mycology". Fungal infections are estimated to kill more people than either tuberculosis or ...

  9. Pandoravirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandoravirus

    Pandoravirus is a proposed genus of giant virus, first discovered in 2013. [5] It is the third largest in physical size of any known viral genus, behind Pithovirus and Megaklothovirus. [6] Pandoraviruses have double stranded DNA genomes, with the largest genome size (2.5 million base pairs) of any known viral genus. [7]
