Mamavirus and Sputnik

Awesome stuff about the new giant virus they found in a Paris water cooling tower, called "Mamavirus" since it's even bigger than Mimi. Don't go nuts Dave.

Also, more info on "Sputnik" the virus that was found inside of it - apparently it causes mamavirus to "get sick", making misformed capsids, etc. Read here. So cool!
