The overall goal of this new isolation strategy is to widen the number of new virus isolates in order to study the pan-genome of this new viral family, and to better understand their ecosystems and potential pathogenicity to humans. This method ca

We describe here the latest advances in viral isolation for the characterization of new genotypes of Faustovirus, a new asfarvirus-related lineage of giant viruses. This protocol can be applied to the high throughput isolation of viruses, especially giant viruses infecting amoeba.
