A New Family of DNA Viruses Causing Disease in Crustaceans from Diverse Aquatic Biomes

A New Family of DNA Viruses Causing Disease in Crustaceans from Diverse Aquatic Biomes

Recent genomic and metagenomic studies have led to a dramatic expansion of the known diversity of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) of eukaryotes, which include giant viruses of protists and important pathogens of vertebrates, such as poxviruses. However, the characterization of viruses f...
