2014 March 3, Ed Yong, “Giant virus resurrected from 30,000-year-old ice”, in Nature News:

In this context, Pithovirus was initially spotted using light microscopy as ovoid particles (Fig. S1) multiplying in a culture of Acanthamoeba castellanii inoculated with a sample of Siberian permafrost from the Kolyma lowland region.

The discovery of “giant” viruses such as mimiviruses (La Scola et al., 2003), megaviruses (Arslan et al., 2011), pandoraviruses (Philippe et al., 2013), and pithoviruses (Legendre et al., 2014) now creates a continuum in genome size and functional complexity between the virosphere and cells.

2015, Anton G. Kutikhin, Recent Discoveries in Evolutionary and Genomic Microbiology:

But the Pithovirus is largest of all, reaching an enormous 1.5 μ, larger than many bacteria.

Dysnomia seems to be more clearly memory related and specifically related to a retrieval deficit.

However, they are unable to come up with the name for it.
