Six Groups of Double-Stranded RNA Mycoviruses
Intervirology, 1984 Six groups of double-stranded (ds) RNA mycoviruses have been proposed. The main characteristics which define a group are described, and the properties of members and probable members of each group are tabulated. Possibilities for organization of the groups into families, genera and species are discussed.

Mycoviruses: A New Dimension in Microbiology
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1972 Knowledge of mycoviruses is so new that most scientists are barely aware that they exist, yet they are widespread and affect many parameters. Their possible effect on the levels of toxins and metabolites produced by fungi enhance their significance in environmental health research. Evidence for the occurrence of a lysogenic virus in yeast was presented

Mycoviruses, RNA Silencing, and Viral RNA Recombination [PDF]
, 2011 In contrast to viruses of plants and animals, viruses of fungi, mycoviruses, uniformly lack an extracellular phase to their replication cycle. The persistent, intracellular nature of the mycovirus life cycle presents technical challenges to experimental design. However, these properties, coupled with the relative simplicity and evolutionary position of

Identification of Mycoviruses in the Pathogens of Fragrant Pear Valsa Canker from Xinjiang in China
VirusesAs a common disease, canker seriously affects the yield and quality of fragrant pear due to the lack of effective control measures. Some fungi have been reported to harbor rich reservoirs of viral resources, and some mycoviruses can be used as biocontrol
