High-throughput virome analyses with various fungi, from cultured or uncultured sources,
have led to the discovery of diverse viruses with unique genome structures and even neo …

The large genetic and structural divergences between plants and fungi may hinder the
transmission of viruses between these two kingdoms to some extent. However, recent …

The obligatory biotrophic oomycetes Plasmopara viticola is the causal agent of downy
mildew, a destructive disease of grapevine worldwide. So far, chemical fungicides are …

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 …

The accurate classification of viral dark matter–metagenomic sequences that originate from
viruses but do not align to any reference virus sequences–is one of the major obstacles in …

In 2018, the order Mononegavirales was expanded by inclusion of 1 new genus and 12
novel species. This article presents the updated taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales as …

In 2018, the family Arenaviridae was expanded by inclusion of 1 new genus and 5 novel
species. At the same time, the recently established order Bunyavirales was expanded by 3 …

While single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was once thought to be a relatively rare genomic
architecture for viruses, modern metagenomics sequencing has revealed circular ssDNA …

Mycoviruses can have a marked effect on natural fungal communities and influence plant
health and productivity. However, a comprehensive picture of mycoviral diversity is still …
