Fungi, similar to all species, are susceptible to viral infection. Aspergillus is arguably the
most well studied fungal genus because of its medical, ecological and economical …

Mycoviruses from plant pathogens can induce hypovirulence (reduced virulence) in their
host fungi and have gained considerable attention as potential biocontrol tools. An …

RNA-based strategies for plant disease management offer an attractive alternative to
agrochemicals that negatively impact human and ecosystem health and lead to pathogen …

Viruses that infect fungi are known as mycoviruses and are characterized by the lack of an
extracellular phase. In recent years, the advances on nucleic acids sequencing technologies …

Wheat viruses including wheat streak mosaic virus, Triticum mosaic virus, and barley yellow
dwarf virus cost substantial losses in crop yields every year. Although there have been …

Marine oomycetes have recently been shown to be concurrently infected by (−) ssRNA
viruses of the order Bunyavirales. In this work, even higher virus variability was found in a …

Talaromyces marneffei is the most important thermal dimorphic fungus causing systemic
