Molecular genetic variability of Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 associated with Cryphonectria parasitica in South Tyrol (northern Italy) [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV-1) has been widely studied and used as a biocontrol agent because of its ability to infect the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, and to reduce its virulence.

The Role of Phyllosphere Microbes and Viruses in Biocontrol of Pathogenic Fungi. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
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.

Mycovirus-induced hypovirulence in notorious fungi Sclerotinia: a comprehensive review. [PDF]

Braz J Microbiol, 2023
Members of the genus Sclerotinia are notorious plant pathogens with a diverse host range that includes many important crops. A huge number of mycoviruses have been identified in this genus; some of these viruses are reported to have a hypovirulent effect on the fitness of their fungal hosts.

Hypovirulence caused by mycovirus in Colletotrichum fructicola

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Colletotrichum fructicola is a pathogenic fungus causing leaf black spot and fruit rot disease in a wide variety of crops. Some mycoviruses that cause detrimental effects on fungal hosts could be useful in studying the pathogenesis of fungal hosts. In this study, we reported two mycoviruses, Colletotrichum fructicola ourmia-like virus 1- Colletotrichum
