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

The Discovery of Novel Mycoviruses in Saccharomyces Yeasts

, 2017
Pathogenic plant fungi are an ongoing threat to crop production, invoking the use of fungicides to reduce fungal disease incidence. Mycoviruses (viruses of fungi) can act as a potential biocontrol agent against pathogenic fungi by reducing fungal ...

Diversity of RNA Viruses and Circular Viroid-like Elements in Heterobasidion spp. in Near-Natural Forests of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Viruses
Heterobasidion root rot fungi represent a major threat to conifer forest stands, and virocontrol (biocontrol) has been proposed as an alternative strategy of disease management in recent years.

Co-infection of multiple mycoviruses in a Botrytis cinerea isolate and their strain-specific biological impacts

Phytopathology Research
Mycoviruses are ubiquitous in fungi, and some of these viruses induce hypovirulence, making them potential biocontrol agents. However, the effect of host genetic background at the pathogen population level on the performance of mycoviruses has not been ...

New insights into RNA mycoviruses of fungal pathogens causing Fusarium head blight

Virus Research
Fusarium head blight (FHB) continues to be a major problem in wheat production and is considered a disease complex caused by several fungal pathogens including Fusarium culmorum, F. graminearum and F. equiseti.

Codon Usage Provides Insights into the Adaptive Evolution of Mycoviruses in Their Associated Fungi Host

, 2022
Codon usage bias (CUB) could reflect co-evolutionary changes between viruses and hosts in contrast to plant and animal viruses, and the systematic analysis of codon usage among the mycoviruses that infect plant pathogenic fungi is limited.

Seven new mycoviruses identified from isolated ascomycetous macrofungi

Virus Research
Mycoviruses have been described in all major fungal taxonomic groups. There has been much focus on commercially cultivated basidiomycetous macrofungi, while attention to viruses from ascomycetous macrofungi is lacking.

Characterization of two novel mycoviruses from Penicillium digitatum and the related fungicide resistance analysis

Scientific Reports, 2018
Pathogenic fungi including Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum are the main destructive pathogens in the citrus industry, causing great losses during postharvest process. To our knowledge, only one mycovirus from P. digitatum has been reported,
