Description
Huo and five co-authors present a study from twenty twenty-six on a giant virus that infects a harmful water germ. The germ harms fish, livestock, and people, and slows fish farming. Viruses that infect germs offer a drug-free way to control such infections. The team isolated a new virus with a long tail and a many-sided head. It stayed active across wide heat and acid ranges. Its genome is large, with hundreds of predicted gene regions.
Family checks place the virus in a known virus family. Yet its genome matches known kin only weakly, at about three in ten parts. The team propose it as the first member of a new genus. They say it widens the known range of these viruses. It may also seed new germ control tools.
