Discovery of novel mycoviruses from fungi associated with mango leaf spots [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyMango (Mangifera indica) is a commercially significant fruit crop cultivated globally. However, leaf spot diseases are common in mango orchards, which severely impact the yield. Mycoviruses hold promise as potential biocontrol agents. To investigate this

Plasmid-like dynamics of persistent RNA viruses in the host fungal population [PDF]
Journal of VirologyUnlike the well-known acute or chronic animal and plant RNA viruses, most fungal RNA viruses (RNA mycoviruses) have a persistent life cycle. They lack an extracellular infection route and coexist with their hosts for a lifetime.

A comparison of transcriptional patterns and mycological phenotypes following infection of Fusarium graminearum by four mycoviruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many fungi-infecting viruses, which are termed mycoviruses, have been identified, and most do not cause any visible symptoms. Some mycoviruses, however, can attenuate the virulence of the infected fungi, a phenomenon referred to as hypovirulence.

Tracking Mycoviruses in Public RNAseq Datasets of Malassezia: Three Original Totiviruses Revealed
Viruses, 2023 Mycoviruses are viruses that selectively infect and multiply in fungal cells. Malassezia is the most abundant fungus on human skin and is associated with a variety of conditions, including atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis, dandruff, folliculitis ...
