  How does one discover a virus in the ocean? Are there just viruses living in the ocean and scientists out there getting beakers of ocean water to microscope?

    Pretty much.

    The ocean is a war zone, an endless battle between bacteria and viruses. Trillions of dead every day; weapons developed and discarded as the tide of battle ebbs and flows.

      Yeah but viruses are obligate intracellular parasites - they can’t survive for long outside of a host cell and have to reproduce using the machinery of a host cell. I’m curious what this virus is parasitizing.

  micrometer scale is massive for viruses, thats the size of a small cell.
