Abstract
A novel single-stranded (+ss) RNA mycovirus, designated as "Magnaporthe oryzae botourmiavirus 14" (MoBV14), was identified in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae isolate ES155. The viral genome is 2,336 nucleotides in length and contains a single open reading frame (ORF) that is predicted to encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Genome sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis indicated that MoBV14 is a new member of the genus Gammascleroulivirus in the family Botourmiaviridae.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
