The discovery of infectious particles that challenge conventional thoughts concerning what is a virus has led to the evolution a new field of study in the past decade. Here, we review knowledge and information concerning giant viruses, with a focus not only on some of the best studied systems, but also provide an effort to illuminate systems yet to be better resolved. We conclude by demonstrating that there is an abundance of new host-virus systems that fall into this giant category, demonstrating that this field of inquiry presents great opportunities for future research.
