ORF Ι of Mycovirus SsNSRV-1 is Associated with Debilitating Symptoms of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
We previously identified Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded virus 1 (SsNSRV-1), the first (−) ssRNA mycovirus, associated with hypovirulence of its fungal host Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

Cellular Coordination of Transcription Factors and Regulatory Genes for Cryptococcal Virulence
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic pathogen belonging to the family Cryptococcaceae, capable of causing systemic and invasive fungal infections in humans and animals. The infection caused by Cryptococcus is lethal primarily in immunocompromised individuals due to the overwhelming expression of virulence factors that drive cryptococcosis in ...

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 ...
