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 …

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

High throughput sequencing allowed the discovery of many new viruses and viral
organizations increasing our comprehension of virus origin and evolution. Most RNA viruses …

It has been 49 years since the last discovery of a new virus family in the model yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A large-scale screen to determine the diversity of double …

Anastomosis groups (AGs) or subgroups of 244 Rhizoctonia isolates recovered from sugar
beet roots with symptoms of root and crown rot were characterized to be AG-A, AG-K, AG-2 …

In this study we investigated the yeast population present on partially dehydrated Nebbiolo
grapes destined for 'Sforzato di Valtellina', with the aim to select indigenous starters suitable …

The fungus Monilinia fructicola is responsible for brown rot on stone and pome fruit and
causes heavy yield losses both pre-and post-harvest. Several mycoviruses are known to …

In the present study, sixteen novel RNA mycoviruses co-infecting a single strain of
Rhizoctonia zeae (strain D40) were identified and molecularly characterized using …

Theobroma cacao plantations are of significant economic importance worldwide, primarily
for chocolate production. During the harvest and processing of cocoa beans, they are …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of total RNA has allowed the detection of novel viruses
infecting different hosts, such as fungi, increasing our knowledge on virus horizontal transfer …
