Marseilleviridae

Marseilleviridae is a family of viruses first named in 2012.[1] The genomes of these viruses are double-stranded DNA. Amoeba are often hosts, but there is evidence that they are found in humans as well.[2][3][4][5] As of 2016, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses recognize four species in this family, divided among 2 genera.[6][7] It is a member of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses clade.

Additional species have since been recognized.[1] The first member of this family recognized has been named Acanthamoeba polyphaga marseillevirus. A second member is Acanthamoeba castellanii lausannevirus. Two additional viruses have been isolated but have yet to be named. Another member of this family has been isolated from blood donors.[4] An isolate from insects—Insectomime virus—has also been reported.[8]

The viruses appear to fall into at least 3 lineages: (1) Marseillevirus and Cannes8virus (2) Insectomime and Tunisvirus and (3) Lausannevirus. A sixth potential member of this family—Melbournevirus—appears to be related to the Marseillevirus/Cannes8virus clade.[9]

A seventh virus—Brazilian Marseillevirus—has been reported.[10] This virus appears to belong to a fourth lineage of virus in this family.

Another virus—Tokyovirus—has also been reported.[11]

Another member of this family is Kurlavirus.[12]


This taxon has been revised.[13] Five lineages (A-E) are presently recognised.

Lineage A

  • Cannes 8 virus
  • Marseillevirus marseillevirus
  • Marseillevirus shanghai
  • Melbournvirus
  • Senegalvirus
  • Tokyovirus

Lineage B

  • Kurlavirus
  • Lausannevirus
  • Noumeavirus
  • Port-miou virus

Lineage C

  • Insectomime virus
  • Tunisvirus

Lineage D

  • Brazilian marseillevirus

Lineage E

  • Golden marseillevirus

Another putative member of this family is Marseillevirus shanghai. If this virus is confirmed, it would belong to the A lineage.

Structure

Viruses in Marseilleviridae have icosahedral geometries. The diameter is around 250 nm. Genomes are circular, around 372kb in length. The genome has 457 open reading frames.[6]

Life cycle

Dna templated transcription is the method of transcription. Amoeba serve as the natural host.[6]

Genomics

A promoter sequence—AAATATTT—has been found associated with 55% of the identified genes in this virus.[14] Most of these sequences occur in multiple copies.

History

One of the first members of this family was described in 2009.[15] Other members described around then (2007) and since then have been documented.[16]
