Rio Negro virophage: Sequencing of the near complete genome and transmission electron microscopy of viral factories and particles

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Rio Negro virophage (RNV) was co-isolated with a strain of mimivirus named sambavirus, from Brazilian Amazon. We report the near complete genome sequence of RNV, the first virophage isolated in Brazil. We also present new microscopical data demonstrating that RNV particles have similar dimensions to that described to sputnik virophages.
