| ictv virus taxonomy profile: chrysoviridae. | the chrysoviridae is a family of small, isometric, non-enveloped viruses (40 nm in diameter) with segmented dsrna genomes (typically four segments). the genome segments are individually encapsidated and together comprise 11.5-12.8 kbp. the single genus chrysovirus includes nine species. chrysoviruses lack an extracellular phase to their life cycle; they are transmitted via intracellular routes within an individual during hyphal growth, in asexual or sexual spores, or between individuals via hyph ... | 2018 | 29251589 |
| profile and functional analysis of small rnas derived from aspergillus fumigatus infected with double-stranded rna mycoviruses. | mycoviruses are viruses that naturally infect and replicate in fungi. aspergillus fumigatus, an opportunistic pathogen causing fungal lung diseases in humans and animals, was recently shown to harbour several different types of mycoviruses. a well-characterised defence against virus infection is rna silencing. the a. fumigatus genome encodes essential components of the rna silencing machinery, including dicer, argonaute and rna-dependent rna polymerase (rdrp) homologues. active silencing of doub ... | 2017 | 28558690 |
