Double-stranded RNA mycovirus infection of Aspergillus fumigatus is not dependent on the genetic make-up of the host. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Aspergillus fumigatus is a fungus that causes opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, with high morbidity and mortality. In its turn, A. fumigatus can become infected with mycoviruses.

Profile and functional analysis of small RNAs derived from Aspergillus fumigatus infected with double-stranded RNA mycoviruses [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Mycoviruses are viruses that naturally infect and replicate in fungi. Aspergillus fumigatus, an opportunistic pathogen causing fungal lung diseases in humans and animals, was recently shown to harbour several different types of mycoviruses. A

Mycovirus therapy for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis?
Medical Mycology, 2019 With the current revived interest in the use of bacteriophages for the treatment of bacterial infections, the study of mycoviruses as novel therapeutic solutions for invasive aspergillosis is the logical next step. Although ssRNA, dsRNA, and ssDNA mycoviruses have been identified, the majority of characterised mycoviruses have dsRNA genomes. Prevalence

Mycovirus-induced hypovirulence in notorious fungi Sclerotinia: a comprehensive review
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 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.

Sequence determination of a satellite RNA isolated from Aspergillus foetidus [PDF]
, 2015 Aspergillus foetidus virus (AfV) has at least two distinct particle types, designated as AfV-fast (F) and AfV-slow (S). AfV-S includes AfV-S1, a victorivirus; AfV-S2, an unclassified satellite RNA; and AfV-S3, a previously uncharacterized dsRNA element ...
