ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Mymonaviridae

J Gen Virol. 2019 Oct;100(10):1343-1344. doi: 10.1099/jgv.0.001301.

Abstract

Members of the family Mymonaviridae produce filamentous, enveloped virions containing a single molecule of linear, negative-sense RNA of ≈10 kb. The family currently includes a single genus, Sclerotimonavirus. Mymonaviruses usually infect filamentous fungi, and one virus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded RNA virus 1, induces hypovirulence in the fungal host. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Mymonaviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/mymonaviridae.

Keywords: ICTV Report; Mymonaviridae; mymonavirus; sclerotimonavirus; taxonomy.
