Abstract

The family Chrysoviridae encompasses viruses with isometric particles, 35-40 nm in diameter, and multipartite double-stranded RNA genomes. The family was recently reorganized to accommodate two genera, Alphachrysovirus and Betachrysovirus, which infect fungi and are also associated with plants and insects. Chrysoviruses are transmitted intracellularly; both vertically from parent to offspring and horizontally from one isolate to another, and may cause hypovirulence in their fungal hosts.
