megavirus
Megavirus is a viral genus containing a single identified species named ''Megavirus chilensis'' (MGVC), phylogenetically related to Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus (APMV). In colloquial speech, MGVC is more commonly referred to as just “Megavirus”. Until the discovery of pandoraviruses in 2013 it had the largest capsid diameter of all known viruses, as well as the largest and most complex genome among all known viruses.〔D Arslan, M Legendre, V Seltzer… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences〕
== Discovery ==
Megavirus was isolated from a water sample collected in April 2010 off the coast of Chile, near the marine station in Las Cruces, by Prof. Jean-Michel Claverie and Dr. Chantal Abergel from the Structural & Genomic Information laboratory (IGS, CNRS and Aix-Marseille University). Researchers from this laboratory were already involved in the characterization of Mimivirus, the first described giant T2 Virus. Megavirus was isolated by co-cultivation with a variety of ''Acanthamoeba'' laboratory strains (''A. polyphaga'', ''A. castellanii'', ''A. griffini'') following a protocol pioneered by Dr. Timothy Rowbotham for isolating intracellular parasitic bacteria. Megavirus infects amoebas.
