 Abstract: DNA viruses with efficient host genome integration capability were unknown in eukaryotes until recently. The discovery of virophages, satellite-like DNA viruses that depend on lytic giant viruses that infect protists, revealed a genetically diverse group of viruses with high genome mobility. Virophages can act as strong inhibitors of their associated giant viruses, and the resulting beneficial effects on their unicellular hosts resemble a population-based antiviral defense mechanism. By comparing various aspects of genome-integrating virophages, in particular the virophage mavirus, with other mobile genetic elements and parasite-derived defense mechanisms in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, we show that virophages share many features with other host-parasite systems. Yet, the dual lifestyle exhibited by mavirus remains unprecedented among eukaryotic DNA viruses, with potentially far-reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences for the host.
