A giant virus is a very large virus. They are sometimes called a girus. Some of them are larger than typical bacteria.[1][2] All known giant viruses belong to the phylum Nucleocytoviricota.[3]

The genomes of many giant viruses code for unusual genes which are not found in other viruses. These include genes involved in glycolysis and the TCA cycle,[4] fermentation,[5] and the cytoskeleton.[6][7][8]

The first giant viruses to be described were discovered in 1981.[9]

Note, in the illustration from an electron microscope, the virus is surrounded by a thick (~100 nm) layer of filamentous protein fibres.

Origin

There are two main hypotheses. Either they evolved from small viruses by picking up DNA from host organisms; or they evolved from very complicated organisms by genome reduction.[10]
