Hypovirus infection induces proliferation and perturbs functions of mitochondria in the chestnut blight fungus [PDF]
IntroductionThe chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, and hypovirus have been used as a model to probe the mechanism of virulence and regulation of traits important to the host fungus.

Evaluation of Hypovirus Infection on the Vesicular Protein Expression Pattern of Cryphonectria parasitica by TMT-Based Proteomics Analysis [PDF]
Hypovirus infection is known to reduce the pathogenicity of Cryphonectria parasitica, the causative agent of chestnut blight. Isoforms derived from a viral protein p48 have been discovered in host mitochondria and vesicles, which may contribute to ...

Cryphonectria parasitica Detections in England, Jersey, and Guernsey during 2020–2023 Reveal Newly Affected Areas and Infections by the CHV1 Mycovirus [PDF]
In England, Cryphonectria parasitica was detected for the first time in 2011 in a nursery and in 2016 in the wider environment. Surveys between 2017 and 2020 identified the disease at different sites in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Derbyshire ...

Trade-off between accumulation potential and transmission efficiency in hypovirus variants infecting phytopathogenic fungi [PDF]
The high mutation rates of RNA virus replication generate genetically diverse virus variants in infected hosts. However, the effects of mutations on viral fitness and adaptability remain understudied in fungal-virus pathosystems.

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

Identification of Mycoviruses in the Pathogens of Fragrant Pear Valsa Canker from Xinjiang in China [PDF]
As a common disease, canker seriously affects the yield and quality of fragrant pear due to the lack of effective control measures. Some fungi have been reported to harbor rich reservoirs of viral resources, and some mycoviruses can be used as biocontrol
