  NCV IN GLOBAL NEWS / GLOBAL SPLASH/ DISCOVERY Husker discovery of aquatic virus-eater makes global splash IN CASE YOU MISSED IT  by  Scott Schrage | University Communication and Marketing Kit Lee and Angie Fox  Chlorovirus particles shown infecting microscopic green algae. A recent study from John DeLong and colleagues revealed that a microorganism found in freshwater can feed on chloroviruses Happy holidays, indeed. In late December 2022, a study led by Nebraska ecologist John DeLong was  published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . That paper broke a microorganism’s big secret: Not only can it eat viruses, it can survive and even thrive on a virus-only diet. Nebraska Today published its own story  on the discovery — one viewed 18,000-plus times in less than a week. But that article was just one of many. To date, stories on the findings have run in more than 100 news outlets and more than 15 languages, from Spanish, Italian and German to Hindi, Japanese and Korean.
