Mimivirus is a name derived from "mimicking microbes." The name was chosen because the viruses were nearly the size of some bacteria. Its relatives the megaviruses can reach sizes of more than 700 nanometers (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter) and possess more than 1,000 genes, features typical of parasitic bacteria. Typical viruses are maybe 20 to 300 nanometers large, and  many viruses, such as influenza or HIV, get along very well with 10 or fewer genes.
