I was very fortunate to collaborate with Jonatas Abrahao on this study, in which his group discovered a novel giant virus with remarkable morphology!

Few giant viruses with a tail have been characterized so far, but recent findings suggest that these structures may be more common than previously thought.

Naiavirus: an enveloped giant virus with a pleomorphic, flexible tail

Multiple panels of Naiavirus particles. They look a bit like lollipops, with gradual tapering down to the end of the tail.
