Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Mycoviruses (viruses of fungi) are ubiquitous throughout the fungal kingdom and are
currently classified into 23 viral families and the genus botybirnavirus by the International …

The distribution and diversity of RNA viruses in fungi is incompletely understood due to the
often cryptic nature of mycoviral infections and the focused study of primarily pathogenic …

White root rot, caused by the ascomycete Rosellinia necatrix, is a devastating disease
worldwide, particularly in fruit trees in Japan. Here we report on the biological and molecular …

Abstract Knowledge of mycovirus diversity, evolution, horizontal gene transfer and shared
ancestry with viruses infecting distantly related hosts, such as plants and arthropods, has …

We report the discovery and characterization of a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus
isolated from the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus fumigatus …

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 …

Fusarium is an important genus of plant pathogenic fungi, and is widely distributed in soil
and associated with plants worldwide. The diversity of mycoviruses in Fusarium is …

A double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus was detected in a strain of Alternaria alternata
showing impaired growth phenotypes. The A. alternata strain is the Japanese pear …

Mycoviruses are wide spread throughout almost all groups of fungi but only a small number
of mycoviruses can attenuate the growth and virulence of their fungal hosts. Alternaria …
