Abstract
Aspergilli are among the most extensively studied fungi due to their medical, ecological, and economic significance. Over the past 50 years research on Aspergillus mycoviruses has led to ground-breaking discoveries and enhanced our understanding of the virosphere, mycovirus replication cycle, inter- and intra-species transmission, and mycovirus-host interactions. In the light of the above, the present article is dedicated to mycoviruses infecting Aspergillus species.
