Human Clinical Isolates of Pathogenic Fungi Are Host to Diverse Mycoviruses

ABSTRACT Fungi host viruses from many families, and next-generation sequencing can be used to discover previously unknown genomes. Some fungus-infecting viruses (mycoviruses) confer hypovirulence on their pathogenic hosts, raising the possibility of therapeutic application in the treatment of fungal...
