Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Virome characterization of Cryphonectria parasitica isolates from Azerbaijan unveiled a new mymonavirus and a putative new RNA virus unrelated to described viral sequences.

open access: yesVirology, 2020
Cryphonectria parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight is controlled in Europe through natural spread of Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1), a mycovirus able to induce hypovirulence to the host. In recent years C.

Development of a Simplified PCR‐Nucleic Acid Lateral Flow Immunoassay (PCR‐NALFIA) for Cryptostroma corticale, the Causal Agent of Sooty Bark Disease

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2728-2737, December 2025.
We present a portable, species‐specific PCR‐NALFIA assay for field detection of Cryptostroma corticale from crude samples in < 2 h, offering a practical tool for managing this emerging threat to urban and native maple trees. ABSTRACT Sooty bark disease (SBD), caused by the fungus Cryptostroma corticale, is causing a widespread outbreak on sycamore ...

cpubi4 Is Essential for Development and Virulence in Chestnut Blight Fungus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Ubiquitination plays key roles in eukaryotic growth, stress adaptation, and metabolic regulation. In our previous work, ubiquitin was found to be secreted in the hypovirus-infected strain of Cryphonectria parasitica, a phytopathogenic filamentous fungus ...

Targeted Disruption of a Fungal G-Protein β Subunit Gene Results in Increased Vegetative Growth but Reduced Virulence

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
Targeted disruption of two G-protein α subunit genes in the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica revealed roles for the Giα subunit CPG-1 in fungal reproduction, virulence, and vegetative growth.

A Viral RNA Silencing Suppressor Modulates Reactive Oxygen Species Levels to Induce the Autophagic Degradation of Dicer‐Like and Argonaute‐Like Proteins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 44, November 27, 2025.
Understanding the virus‐host arms race has been a fascinating topic in virology; contributing significantly to the development of treatments and control strategies for viral diseases. CHV1 employs a sophisticated counter‐defense mechanism in its fungal host by utilizing a viral silencing suppressor to inhibit fungal FMN reductase; thereby modulating ...

The Role of Phyllosphere Microbes and Viruses in Biocontrol of Pathogenic Fungi

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
Foliar microbiota employ multiple ecological strategies to inhibit fungal pathogens in the phyllosphere, including resource competition, production of antifungal metabolites, contact‐dependent killing, modulation of plant innate immunity and mycovirus‐mediated suppression.
