Mycoviruses, just as the fungal endophytes they infect, are ubiquitous biological entities on Earth. Mycoviruses constitute a diverse group of viruses, and metagenomic approaches have-through recent discoveries of been mycoviruses-only recently began to provide evidence of this astonishing diversity. The current review presents (1) various mycoviruses which infect fungal endophytes and forest pathogens, (2) their presumed origins and interactions with fungi, plants and the environment, (3) high-throughput sequencing techniques that can be used to explore the horizontal gene transfer of mycoviruses, and (4) how the hypo- and hypervirulence induced by mycoviral infection is relevant to the biological control of pathogenic fungi.

内生和病原森林真菌的病毒。

真菌病毒，就像它们感染的真菌内生菌一样，是地球上普遍存在的生物实体。真菌病毒构成了一个多样化的病毒群，宏基因组学方法——通过最近发现的真菌病毒——直到最近才开始提供这种惊人多样性的证据。当前的综述介绍了（1）感染真菌内生菌和森林病原体的各种真菌病毒，（2）它们的推测起源以及与真菌、植物和环境的相互作用，（3）可用于探索水平基因的高通量测序技术真菌病毒的传播，以及（4）真菌病毒感染引起的低毒力和高毒力如何与病原真菌的生物控制相关。
