Here we describe a (−)ssRNA virus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded RNA virus 1 (SsNSRV-1), isolated from a hypovirulent strain of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The complete genome of SsNSRV-1 ...

This virus, tentatively named citrus virus A (CiVA), has a bipartite genome composed of (i) a negative-stranded (ns) RNA1, encoding the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and (ii) an ambisense ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown virus in farmed Pacific oysters during a mass die-off in B.C., Canada.

Plant and fungal viruses have divergently evolved to adapt to the distinct biological characteristics of plant and fungal kingdoms. While cross-infection of plant viruses in fungi has been observed, ...

Rabies is notoriously difficult to treat once symptoms begin, and that challenge starts at the molecular level. Unlike many ...

The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the virus generates a negative-sense strand, which is used as a template for replicating full-length viral RNA genomes and transcription of subgenomic positive ...

These common features include the synthesis of a negative-strand RNA, asymmetric RNA synthesis of positive-strand over negative-strand RNA, and dependence on multiple host factors for genome ...

Identification of a negative-strand RNA virus with natural plant and fungal hosts. Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Published: 2024-03-19 DOI: ...
