Abstract
Los virus gigantes se han destacado en la última década por sus particularidades estructurales y genéticas que permiten interpretar de diferentes maneras su origen y evolución. Algunos autores consideran que los virus gigantes adquirieron varios de sus genes a partir de la transferencia horizontal de las células eucariotas a las que infecta, lo que permitiría explicar las funciones a nivel metabólico que se han sugerido para muchos de ellos. A medida que se avanza en el estudio de los virus gigantes, mayor es el conocimiento que se adquiere sobre la relación existente entre los genes propios de origen celular y el posible papel que ejercen los virus gigantes a nivel ambiental. Con este trabajo se pretende realizar una revisión bibliográfica de las principales características y generalidades de los virus gigantes, su papel a nivel ecológicoy su posible presencia e implicaciones en ecosistemas colombianos.
 
The giant viruses have distinguished in the last decade because of their structural and genetic distinctive features that have allowed to interpret in different ways their origin and evolution. Some authors consider that giant viruses acquired some of their genes based on the horizontal transference of their eukaryotic hosts, what will allow to explain the functions in a metabolic level that have been suggested for many of them. As the study of giant viruses progresses, more is the knowledge that is acquired about the existing relation among the own genes of cellular origin and the possible role that work as the giant viruses in an environmental level. With this study is pretended to make a bibliographic review of the main characteristics about the giant viruses, their role in an ecological level and their possible presence and implications in Colombian ecosystems.
