Abstract

Yaravirus (Yaravirus brasiliensis) was named after a mythological water goddess in Brazilian culture. It is the first virus isolated from Acanthamoeba spp. The virus is neither a part of the complex group of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) nor the representative of a novel evolutionary branch of viruses. At 80 nm, Yaravirus is smaller than other amoebal viruses and does not have a complex genome.
