, 2019 A virus (from the Latin word ‘v?rus’ meaning ‘venom’ or ‘poison’) is a microorganism invisible to the naked eye. Viruses can multiply exclusively by entering a cell and using the cell’s resources to create copies of themselves. As the origin of their name suggests, viruses are generally considered dangerous, harmful and often deadly.

Biological control of pathogenic fungi: Can mycoviruses play an important role? [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2022 In the past few years, huge economic and environmental losses have resulted by fungal pathogens in agriculture and food production worldwide. Fungal toxins also pose a threat for food production and animal health.

Mycoviruses in Aspergilli: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Fungi, similar to all species, are susceptible to viral infection. Aspergillus is arguably the most well studied fungal genus because of its medical, ecological and economical significance. Mycoviruses were initially detected in Aspergillus species almost 50 years ago and the field continues to be active today with ground-breaking discoveries.

Uirusu, 2010 Viruses are widespread in all major groups of fungi. The transmission of fungal viruses occurs intracellularly during cell division, sporogenesis, and cell fusion. They apparently lack an extracellular route for infection. Recent searches of the collections of field fungal isolates have detected an increasing number of novel viruses and lead to ...

Multiplex Detection of Pleurotus ostreatus Mycoviruses
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022 Mycoviruses are viruses that specifically infect and replicate in fungi. Several mycoviruses have been previously reported in Pleurotus ostreatus, including the oyster mushroom spherical virus (OMSV), oyster mushroom isometric virus (OMIV), Pleurotus ostreatus spherical virus (POSV), and Pleurotus ostreatus virus 1 (PoV1).

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.

Analysis of the codon usage pattern of the RdRP gene of mycovirus infecting Aspergillus spp.
Virology Journal, 2019 Background Mycoviruses that infect fungi generally do not have a significant effect on the host and, instead, reduce the toxicity of the fungi. However, recent studies have shown that polymycovirus-1, a mycovirus that infects Aspergillus species known to

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Diplodia seriata in the family Botryosphaeriaceae is a cosmopolitan phytopathogenic fungus and is responsible for causing cankers, fruit rot and leaf spots on economically important plants. In this study, we characterized the virome of a single Pakistani

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 ...
