Co-infection of multiple mycoviruses in a Botrytis cinerea isolate and their strain-specific biological impacts

open access: yesPhytopathology Research
Mycoviruses are ubiquitous in fungi, and some of these viruses induce hypovirulence, making them potential biocontrol agents. However, the effect of host genetic background at the pathogen population level on the performance of mycoviruses has not been ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
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.

Theobroma cacao Virome: Exploring Public RNA-Seq Data for Viral Discovery and Surveillance

open access: yesViruses
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a major agricultural commodity, essential for the global chocolate industry and the livelihoods of millions of farmers. However, viral diseases pose a significant threat to cocoa production, with Badnavirus species causing ...

The Discovery of Novel Mycoviruses in Saccharomyces Yeasts

open access: yes, 2017
Pathogenic plant fungi are an ongoing threat to crop production, invoking the use of fungicides to reduce fungal disease incidence. Mycoviruses (viruses of fungi) can act as a potential biocontrol agent against pathogenic fungi by reducing fungal ...

Diversity of RNA Viruses and Circular Viroid-like Elements in Heterobasidion spp. in Near-Natural Forests of Bosnia and Herzegovina

open access: yesViruses
Heterobasidion root rot fungi represent a major threat to conifer forest stands, and virocontrol (biocontrol) has been proposed as an alternative strategy of disease management in recent years.

[Mycoviruses and importance in mycology].

open access: yesMikrobiyoloji bulteni, 2018
Opportunistic fungal infections like invasive candidiasis and aspergillozis have high mortality rate particularly in immunosupressive patients. The rate of therapy success with antifungal agents is usually low. Although immunotherapy methods have been developed to increase the host response against antifungals, there has been a need for new antifungal ...

Mycoviral Population Dynamics in Spanish Isolates of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana

open access: yesViruses, 2018
The use of mycoviruses to manipulate the virulence of entomopathogenic fungi employed as biocontrol agents may lead to the development of novel methods to control attacks by insect pests.

Identification of Diverse Mycoviruses Through Metatranscriptomics Characterization of the Viromes of Five Major Fungal Plant Pathogens

open access: yes, 2016
Mycoviruses can have a marked effect on natural fungal communities and influence plant health and productivity. However, a comprehensive picture of mycoviral diversity is still lacking.

Mycoviruses in biological control: From basic research to field implementation

open access: yes, 2019
Mycoviruses from plant pathogens can induce hypovirulence (reduced virulence) in their host fungi and have gained considerable attention as potential biocontrol tools.
