Gaussian process forecasts Pseudogymnoascus destructans will cover coterminous United States by 2030

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
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

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 1357-1373, May 2022., 2022
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.

A vertically transmitted amalgavirus is present in certain accessions of the bryophyte Physcomitrium patens

The Plant Journal, Volume 108, Issue 6, Page 1786-1797, December 2021., 2021
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

Evidence for a novel partitivirus isolated from the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema ceratophorum [PDF]

Archives of Virology, 2022
Nematodes are abundant, but little is known about their viruses. In this study, we report a novel partitivirus isolated from the entomopathogenic nematode species Steinernema ceratophorum, named "Steinernema ceratophorum partitivirus 1" (ScPV-1). The complete genome of ScPV-1 comprises two dsRNA segments, dsRNA1 (2352 bp) and dsRNA2 (2196 bp).

Diverged and Active Partitiviruses in Lichen

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
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.

Evaluation of Virus-Free and Wild-Type Isolates of Pseudogymnoascus destructans Using a Porcine Ear Model

mSphere, 2022
White-nose syndrome (WNS), responsible for the mass mortality of North American bats, lacks economically viable and practical in vitro models for Pseudogymnoascus destructans infection, the causative agent of WNS.

Mycoviral Population Dynamics in Spanish Isolates of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana

Viruses, 2018
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.

Discovery and characterization of novel Aspergillus fumigatus mycoviruses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
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 ...

Hypovirulence of the Phytopathogenic Fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea: Association with a Coinfecting Chrysovirus and a Partitivirus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2014
ABSTRACT Botryosphaeria dothidea is an important pathogenic fungus causing fruit rot, leaf and stem ring spots and dieback, stem canker, stem death or stool mortality, and decline of pear trees. Seven double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs; dsRNAs 1 to 7 with sizes of 3,654, 2,773, 2,597, 2,574, 1,823, 1,623, and 511 bp ...

Six Novel Mycoviruses Containing Positive Single-Stranded RNA and Double-Stranded RNA Genomes Co-Infect a Single Strain of the Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 PT

Viruses, 2022
Six novel mycoviruses that collectively represent the mycovirome of Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group (AG)-3 PT strain ZJ-2H, which causes potato black scurf, were identified through metatranscriptome sequencing and putatively designated as ...
