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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Determinants of Coinfection in the Mycoviruses [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Coinfections of mycoviruses are generally common. The coinfecting mycoviruses are not necessarily the result of horizontal virus transmission among homologous fungal hosts compatible for anastomosis, but involve mycoviruses from phylogenetically diverse sources (Herrero and Zabalgogeazcoa, 2011; Osaki et al., 2016; Ran et al., 2016; Hao et al., 2018 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Mycoviruses and Virocontrol

open access: yesUirusu, 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 ...

Biological control of pathogenic fungi: Can mycoviruses play an important role? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Analysis of the codon usage pattern of the RdRP gene of mycovirus infecting Aspergillus spp.

open access: yesVirology 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
