Diverged and Active Partitiviruses in Lichen
The lichen is a microbial consortium that mainly consists of fungi and either algae (Viridiplantae) or cyanobacteria. This structure also contains other bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Discovery and characterization of novel Aspergillus fumigatus mycoviruses. [PDF]
In the last few years, increasing numbers of viruses infecting fungi have been identified. In this study, we used an in silico approach for the analysis of deep RNA sequencing data in order to discover and characterize putative genomic ssRNA or dsRNA ...

The VIVE assay uses the potato virus X vector to transiently express candidate effectors in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, and could be used for rapid identification of putative virulence effectors in various plant pathogens. Abstract Plant pathogens deliver virulence effectors into plant cells to modulate plant immunity and facilitate infection ...

Backbone Trace of Partitivirus Capsid Protein from Electron Cryomicroscopy and Homology Modeling [PDF]
Most dsRNA viruses have a genome-enclosing capsid that comprises 120 copies of a single coat protein (CP). These 120 CP subunits are arranged as asymmetrical dimers that surround the icosahedral fivefold axes, forming pentamers of dimers that are thought to be assembly intermediates.

Mycoviral Population Dynamics in Spanish Isolates of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana
The use of mycoviruses to manipulate the virulence of entomopathogenic fungi employed as biocontrol agents may lead to the development of novel methods to control attacks by insect pests.

Profile and functional analysis of small RNAs derived from Aspergillus fumigatus infected with double-stranded RNA mycoviruses [PDF]
Background: Mycoviruses are viruses that naturally infect and replicate in fungi. Aspergillus fumigatus, an opportunistic pathogen causing fungal lung diseases in humans and animals, was recently shown to harbour several different types of mycoviruses. A

Facing Rose rosette virus: A risk to European rose cultivation
In this review we describe current knowledge about Rose rosette virus, the molecular and serological methods available for its detection, pathways to entry, and the possible impact if it establishes and spreads in Europe. Abstract Roses (Rosa) are one of the most valuable ornamental flowering shrubs around the globe.

Evidence for a Novel Partitivirus Isolated From Entomopathogenic Nematode Steinernema Ceratophorum [PDF]
Abstract Nematodes are abundant, yet little is known about their viruses. In this study, we report a novel partitivirus isolated from Entomopathogenic nematode specie “Steinernema ceratophorum, named as Steinernema ceratophorum Partiti-like Virus 1 (ScPV1).
