Genome Organizations and Functional Analyses of a Novel Gammapartitivirus from Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA Strain D122

Viruses, 2021
Here, we describe a novel double-stranded (ds) RNA mycovirus designated Rhizoctonia solani dsRNA virus 5 (RsRV5) from strain D122 of Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA, the causal agent of rice sheath blight.

A comprehensive review of mycoviruses infecting the plant pathogenic fungus Rosellinia necatrix

Frontiers in Virology
The number of documented viruses that infect fungi has increased during the past few decades. Mycoviruses that infect plant pathogenic fungi are the main focus of mycoviral research since some of them have the capacity to cause hypovirulence to their ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Plants and Implications for Biotechnology

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), a fundamental process long acknowledged in prokaryotic evolution, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal force in shaping the evolutionary trajectories of eukaryotes, including plants. Despite its established significance in prokaryotic adaptation, the role of HGT in eukaryotic evolution is still understudied ...

Studies on the Virome of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana Reveal Novel dsRNA Elements and Mild Hypervirulence. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana has a wide host range and is used as a biocontrol agent against arthropod pests. Mycoviruses have been described in phytopathogenic fungi while in entomopathogenic fungi their presence has been reported only

Tolerance Against Co‐Infection of Two Partitiviruses and Ourmia‐Likevirus Is Common Among Heterobasidion annosum Strains on Artificial Media and in Dead Wood

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Some mycoviruses cause hypovirulence in fungi, but the effects often vary among different host strains. Heterobasidion partitiviruses 13‐an1 and 15‐pa1 (HetPV13‐an1 and HetPV15‐pa1) have been associated with strain‐specific and variable hypovirulence of Heterobasidion annosum, but variation in phenotypic effects of HetPV15‐pa1 or the ...

Genome Sequence of Spinach Cryptic Virus 1, a New Member of the Genus Alphapartitivirus (Family Partitiviridae), Identified in Spinach

Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2017
A distinct double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) cryptic virus, named spinach cryptic virus 1 (SpCV1), was identified from spinach transcriptome datasets. The SpCV1 genome has two dsRNA genome segments. The larger dsRNA1 has an open reading frame for a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). The smaller dsRNA2 encodes a putative coat protein (CP).

Probiotic‐Based Approaches for Sustainable Control of Infectious Risk in Mass Transport: Current Data and Future Perspectives

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.
High‐traffic areas, such as mass transportation environments, can have a significant impact on infection transmission, and chemical disinfection may favour the selection of drug‐resistant microbes. Probiotic‐based approaches have the potential to be a novel and ecologically sustainable option for controlling bioburden and preventing infections ...

Viral diversity and co‐evolutionary dynamics across the ant phylogeny

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 19, October 2024.
Abstract Knowledge of viral biodiversity within insects, particularly within ants, is extremely limited with only a few environmental viruses from invasive ant species identified to date. This study documents and explores the viral communities in ants.
