  abstract = {{T}he discovery of {M}imivirus opened the door to reclassifying viruses and microorganisms. {B}ecause the definition of a virus had been based on their putative small size, giant viruses have been widely neglected, as have their own viral parasites: the virophage. {C}urrent studies show that giant viruses can be found worldwide in the soil, water, animals and humans. {T}heir existence forces us to create new classifications, the most recent being {TRUC}, to accommodate the existence of four branches of microorganisms, i.e., bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes and giant viruses.},
