Identification and sequence determination of a new chrysovirus infecting the phytopathogenic fungus dothistroma septosporum

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    There are still many taxonomically unclassified dsRNA mycoviruses. dsRNA mycoviruses do not have an extracellular phase in their replication cycle and are not vectored but instead rely on horizontal transmission through anastomosis and/or vertical transmission through spores. In Britain, Dothistroma needle blight, also known as red band needle blight or pine needle blight, is caused by the fungus Dothistroma septosporum. The authors report a new member of the genus Alphachrysovirus in the family Chrysoviridae, designated "Dothistroma septosporum chrysovirus 1" (DsCV-1). The grey boxes above dsRNAs 1 and 2 indicate high sequence similarity . . .
