From: High-throughput isolation of giant viruses using high-content screening
Historic evolution of giant virus isolation strategies since their discovery. Until 2013, giant virus isolation was performed by traditional and operator-dependent techniques using optical microscopy and staining. In 2016, flow cytometry introduced the concept of automated detection and identification. Here, we developed a new isolation strategy introducing new tools allowing the live monitoring of cocultures and high-content analysis for a rapid detection and identification of giant viruses
