Efficient elimination of RNA mycoviruses in aspergillus species using RdRp-inhibitors ribavirin and 2’-C-methylribonucleoside derivatives

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
RNA viruses in fungi (mycoviruses) are model systems for understanding the relationships between eukaryotic microorganisms and RNA viruses. To reveal the effects of mycoviruses on host fungi, it is essential to compare the phenotypes between isogenic ...

Mycoviruses: trends in plant-fungus-mycovirus interactions and ‘biocontrol’ prospects in agriculture and the environment

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2023
Mycoviruses are cosmopolitan in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, in soils, and water. There is a scarcity of information about them, which necessitated this review to provide some leads on where research should focus.

Mycoviromic Analysis Unveils Complex Virus Composition in a Hypovirulent Strain of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Mycoviruses are ubiquitous in pathogenic fungi including Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Using RNA sequencing, more mycoviruses have been identified in individual strains, which were previously reported to be infected by a single mycovirus.

Nine viruses from eight lineages exhibiting new evolutionary modes that co-infect a hypovirulent phytopathogenic fungus.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Mycoviruses are an important component of the virosphere, but our current knowledge of their genome organization diversity and evolution remains rudimentary.

Exploring the Mycovirus Universe: Identification, Diversity, and Biotechnological Applications

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Viruses that infect fungi are known as mycoviruses and are characterized by the lack of an extracellular phase. In recent years, the advances on nucleic acids sequencing technologies have led to a considerable increase in the number of fungi-infecting ...

Sixteen Novel Mycoviruses Containing Positive Single-Stranded RNA, Double-Stranded RNA, and Negative Single-Stranded RNA Genomes Co-Infect a Single Strain of Rhizoctonia zeae

Journal of Fungi, 2023
In the present study, sixteen novel RNA mycoviruses co-infecting a single strain of Rhizoctonia zeae (strain D40) were identified and molecularly characterized using metatranscriptome sequencing combined with a method for rapid amplification of cDNA ends.
