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

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 …

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 …

Botrytis cinerea is one of the most important plant-pathogenic fungus. Products based on
microorganisms can be used in biocontrol strategies alternative to chemical control, and …

The transmission of viral infections between plant and fungal hosts has been suspected to
occur, based on phylogenetic and other findings, but has not been directly observed in …

Mycoviruses are an important component of the virosphere, but our current knowledge of
their genome organization diversity and evolution remains rudimentary. In this study, the …

Zoysia japonica, in Brazil, is commonly infected by Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) in humid
and cool weather conditions. Eight isolates of R. solani, previously identified as belonging to …

Mitoviruses have small RNA (+) genomes, replicate in mitochondria, and have been shown
to infect only fungi to date. For this report, sequences that appear to represent nearly …

There is still limited information on the diversity of (−) ssRNA viruses that infect fungi. Here,
we have discovered two novel (−) ssRNA mycoviruses in the shiitake mushroom (Lentinula …

The cosmopolitan fungus Rhizoctonia solani has a wide host range and is the causal agent
of numerous crop diseases, leading to significant economic losses. To date, no cultivars …
