Giant virus discovered in Finland

For the first time in Finland, researchers at the Nanoscience Center in University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have isolated a giant virus, which was named Jyvaskylavirus. The discovery shows that giant viruses are more common in northern regions than researchers thought. It also illustrates that there are still many structures whose origins and functions have not been properly studied.
