The discovery of infectious particles that challenge conventional thoughts concerning "what is a virus" has led to the evolution a new field of study in the past decade. Here, we review knowledge and information concerning "giant viruses", with a focus not only on some of the best studied systems, but also provide an effort to illuminate systems yet to be better resolved. We conclude by demonstrating that there is an abundance of new host-virus systems that fall into this "giant" category, demonstrating that this field of inquiry presents great opportunities for future research.
在过去十年中，具有传染性的粒子的发现挑战了关于“什么是病毒”的传统观念，从而催生了一个新的研究领域。在此，我们回顾有关“巨型病毒”的知识和信息，不仅关注一些研究得较为透彻的系统，还致力于阐明尚未得到更好解析的系统。我们通过论证存在大量属于这一“巨型”类别的新宿主 - 病毒系统来得出结论，这表明该研究领域为未来研究提供了巨大机遇。
