Host genome integration and giant virus-induced reactivation of the virophage mavirus

A Nature study of host genome integration and giant virus-induced reactivation of the virophage mavirus. The companion cites it, with La Scola et al., for virophages that parasitize giant viruses and can protect host populations, though not the infected cell. These hyperparasites are the biological template for the agent hyperparasites that the food web projects (Fig. 1).
