Cafeteria roenbergensis virus

Cafeteria roenbergensis virus (CroV), scientific name Rheavirus sinusmexicani, is a giant virus that infects the marine bicosoecid flagellate Cafeteria roenbergensis, a member of the microzooplankton community. == History == The virus was isolated from seawater samples collected from the Gulf of Mexico during 1989 to 1991, on a flagellate host that was misidentified as belonging to the genus Bodo; hence the original designation of the virus as BV-PW1.
