Characterization of the mycovirus Aspergillus sulphureus partitivirus 1. [PDF]
Abstract Fungi are frequently infected with viruses called mycoviruses. Some mycoviruses have shown potential as biocontrol agents because they can weaken the virulence of fungal plant pathogens. Intensive research has been conducted on the diversity of viruses infecting plant pathogens and the functions of such viruses.

The structure of a plant-specific partitivirus capsid reveals a unique coat protein domain architecture with an intrinsically disordered protrusion [PDF]
Persistent plant viruses may be the most common viruses in wild plants. A growing body of evidence for mutualism between such viruses and their hosts, suggests that they play an important role in ecology and agriculture.

The alkalophilic fungus Sodiomyces alkalinus hosts beta- and gammapartitiviruses together with a new fusarivirus. [PDF]
Mixed infection by three dsRNA viruses, a novel betapartitivirus, a gammapartitivirus, and a novel fusarivirus, has been identified in four isolates of the obligate alkalophilic fungus Sodiomyces alkalinus. The first, Sodiomyces alkalinus partitivirus 1 (

Novel Viroid‐Like RNAs Naturally Infect a Filamentous Fungus
A novel class of viroid‐like RNAs, termed as mycoviroids, naturally infects a filamentous fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea responsible for fungal attenuated virulence and growth rate. These mycoviroids range in size between 157 and 450 nucleotides, replicate autonomously in the nucleus via a rolling‐circle replication mechanism following symmetric ...

Gaussian process forecasts Pseudogymnoascus destructans will cover coterminous United States by 2030
White‐nose syndrome has been decimating populations of several bat species since its first occurrence in the Northeastern United States in winter 2006‐2007. We developed a model of disease spread that simultaneously achieves high predictive performance, computational efficiency, and interpretability, allowing inference of the spread rate of the disease

Grapevine virome and production of healthy plants by somatic embryogenesis
The production of virus‐free plants is becoming increasingly crucial for the use of grapevine as a model species in different studies. The different spread among grapevine tissues suggested a clear distinction between viruses/viroids and mycoviruses that can successfully be exploited for their identification.

Complete genome sequence of a novel partitivirus from a wild brassicaceous plant, Arabidopsis halleri [PDF]
Two contigs with high similarity to partitivirus sequences were identified by de novo assembly of sequences obtained by RNA-Seq from a wild brassicaceous plant, Arabidopsis halleri subsp. gemmifera.

Summary In the last few years, next‐generation sequencing techniques have started to be used to identify new viruses infecting plants. This has allowed to rapidly increase our knowledge on viruses other than those causing symptoms in economically important crops. Here we used this approach to identify a virus infecting Physcomitrium patens that has the
