Ying Liu (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues published a new paper in PLOS Biology on diversity, taxonomy, and evolution of archaeal viruses of the class Caudoviricetes.

The Bacterial Viruses Subcommittee and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee of the ICTV have published an update of taxonomy changes from 2020-2021 in Archives of Virology. They've created or redefined a new realm, three orders, 15 families, 31 su

Janina Rahlff (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) and colleagues published a paper in Nature Communications on how lytic archaeal viruses infect abundant primary producers in Earth’s crust. They used a combination of metagenomics and a

Before now, only eight phages and two archaeal viruses had been isolated from deep sea vents. Sarah Thiroux (Université de Bretagne Occidentale, France) and colleagues published a new paper describing another: the first head‐tailed virus in

Simon Roux and a multidisciplinary team of colleagues have found that inoviruses (filamentous, single stranded DNA phages that replicate without killing their host) are much more prevalent than previously thought, and they even infect archa

Before now, no virus has been reported to infect ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) from the phylum Thaumarchaeota (ubiquitous marine archaea). However, a new paper by Jong-Geol Kim (Chungbuk National Univ.) and colleagues describes the isolat
