Mycoviruses and their role in fungal pathogenesis

Ioly Kotta-Loizou

Summary: The research focus in mycovirology has expanded to include not only plant pathogenic fungi and hypovirulence mediated by mycovirus, but also insect and human pathogenic fungi and a variety of mycovirus mediated phenotypes such as hypervirulence, control of endophytic traits, regulation of metabolite production and drug resistance. In interactions involving fungus, mycovirus and the environment, environmental factors and both abiotic and biotic factors are crucial in determining whether and how mycovirus mediated phenotypes manifest. Mycovirus infections can lead to changes in the host transcriptome profile through protein-protein interactions and the initiation of antiviral RNA silencing in the fungus, potentially resulting in desirable phenotypic traits for the host, humans, and sometimes both.

The Polymycovirus-Mediated Growth Enhancement of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana Is Dependent on Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism

Charalampos Filippou et al.

Summary: Polymycoviridae is a growing family of mycoviruses with non-conventional capsids and multi-segmented, double-stranded RNA genomes. Both BbPmV-3 and BbPmV-1 have similar effects on their fungal hosts, affecting pigmentation, sporulation, and radial growth.

Virus Infection of Aspergillus fumigatus Compromises the Fungus in Intermicrobial Competition

Hasan Nazik et al.

Summary: The study revealed the impact of viral infection on the competition between bacteria and fungi, potentially altering fungal stress responses, particularly through virus-induced changes in Aspergillus iron metabolism. This effect plays a significant role in the outcome of bacterial-fungal competition in nature and patients.
