Pandoraviruses are giant viruses of amoebas with a wide range of genome sizes (1.5 to 2.5 Mbp) and 1-μm ovoid viral particles. Here, we report the isolation, genome sequencing, and annotation of two new strains from the proposed family Pandoraviridae: Pandoravirus belohorizontensis and Pandoravirus aubagnensis.
