The kinetoplastid-infecting Bodo saltans virus (BsV), a window into the most abundant giant viruses in the sea

Giant viruses are ecologically important players in aquatic ecosystems that have challenged concepts of what constitutes a virus. Herein, we present the giant Bodo saltans virus (BsV), the first characterized representative of the most abundant group of giant viruses in ocean metagenomes, and the fi...
