Double-Stranded RNA Mycovirus from Fusarium graminearum [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2002 ABSTRACT Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses in some fungi are associated with hypovirulence and have been used or proposed as biological control agents. We isolated 7.5-kb dsRNAs from 13 of 286 field strains of Fusarium graminearum isolated from maize in Korea.

Vegetative incompatibility and potential involvement of a mycovirus in the Italian population of Geosmithia morbida [PDF]
, 2015 Studies carried out during an Italian outbreak of the Thousand Cankers Disease of walnut, demonstrated that non-coalescing cankers on host plants, separated by equidistant uninfected zones, were associated with incompatible strains of Geosmithia morbida.

Morphological, Pathogenic and Toxigenic Variability in the Rice Sheath Rot Pathogen Sarocladium Oryzae [PDF]
, 2020 Sheath rot is an emerging rice disease that leads to considerable yield losses. The main causal agent is the fungus Sarocladium oryzae. This pathogen is known to produce the toxins cerulenin and helvolic acid, but their role in pathogenicity has not been

Patulin Inhibition of Mycovirus Replication in Penicillium stoloniferum [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1976 Penicillium stoloniferum NRRL5267 contains two electrophoretically distinct viruses (PsV-F and PsV-S). An in vivo system was developed to test whether a number of fungal metabolites had antiviral properties on PsV-F replication in O.erties on PsV-F replication in P. stoloniferum.

Hypovirulence of Sclerotium rolfsii Caused by Associated RNA Mycovirus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Mycoviruses associated with hypovirulence are potential biological control agents and could be useful to study the pathogenesis of fungal host pathogens. Sclerotium rolfsii, a pathogenic fungus, causes southern blight in a wide variety of crops. In this study, we isolated a series of dsRNAs from a debilitated S.
