Scientist found 230 types of giant viruses that were previously unknown in oceans around the world. That's not a bad thing, though, so don't worry.

Marine viruses affect Bacteria, Archaea and eukaryotic organisms and are major components of the marine food web. Most studies have focused on their role as predators and parasites, but many of ...

Giant viruses play a role in the survival of single-celled marine organisms called protists. These include algae, amoeba and flagellates, which form the base of ocean food webs. Since these protists ...

Weitz and colleagues use a biophysical scaling model of intact virus particles to quantify differences in the elemental stoichiometry of marine viruses compared with their microbial hosts. They ...

By looking at the tiniest virus-infected microbes in the ocean, researchers are gaining new insights about the marine food web that may help improve future climate change predictions. The new ...

Virologists have tracked the co-ocurrence of large and small viruses in marine microorganisms, but the nature of their interactions has not been clearly defined.

Researchers analyzed marine samples far and deep in an effort to understand the complexities of viruses, ... Researchers detail marine viruses from pole to pole. Ohio State University.

A new study explained how certain marine animals protect other species on Earth from viruses found in water. According to the authors of the study, these animals can effectively remove viral ...

How Marine Bacteria Have Evolved Passive Protection Against Viruses Marine bacteria use reduced tRNA levels as passive resistance against viral infections, ensuring survival in the ocean. News .

These large microorganisms don’t just dwarf typical viruses in size—they also seem capable of complex tricks normally only seen in living things.

New genetic evidence builds the case that single-celled marine microbes might chow down on viruses. By Katherine J. Wu On the dinner plate that is planet Earth, there exists a veritable buffet of ...

As humans, we often focus on viruses and bacteria because of their role in causing various, sometimes severe, diseases. However, an equally fascinating but lesser-known phenomenon is the ongoing ...
