Five years after being discovered in 2003, some giant viruses were demonstrated to play a role of the hosts for virophages, their parasites, setting out a novel and yet unknown regulatory mechanism of the giant viruses presence in an aqueous. So far, 20 virophages have been registered and 13 of them have been described as a metagenomic material, which indirectly impacts the number of single- and multi-cell organisms, the environment where giant viruses replicate.
2003年被发现五年后，一些巨型病毒被证明充当了噬病毒体（它们的寄生物）的宿主，从而展现出一种关于巨型病毒在水体中存在的全新且未知的调控机制。到目前为止，已登记了20种噬病毒体，其中13种已作为宏基因组材料被描述，这间接影响了单细胞和多细胞生物的数量，以及巨型病毒进行复制的环境。
