Fungal viruses (mycoviruses) have attracted more attention for their possible hypovirulence (attenuation of fungal virulence) trait, which may be developed as a biocontrol agent of plant pathogenic fungi.

A Mycovirus VIGS Vector Confers Hypovirulence to a Plant Pathogenic Fungus to Control Wheat FHB
Mycovirus‐mediated hypovirulence has the potential to control fungal diseases. However, the availability of hypovirulence‐conferring mycoviruses for plant fungal disease control is limited as most fungal viruses are asymptomatic. In this study, the virus‐

A novel double-stranded RNA mycovirus isolated from Trichoderma harzianum
Background Trichoderma spp. are used extensively in agriculture as biological control agents to prevent soil-borne plant diseases. In recent years, mycoviruses from fungi have attracted increasing attention due to their effects on their hosts, but ...

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