Double-stranded RNAs from an isolate of Neofusicoccum luteum collected from grapevines were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Contig annotations revealed the presence of a potential novel virus belonging to the newly proposed family Fusariviridae. Completion of the viral genome sequence was performed.

- Neofusicoccum luteum is a fungus from the Botryosphaeriaceae family that causes wood decay diseases in grapevines, and a new mitovirus was discovered infecting it.
- Researchers sequenced double-stranded RNAs from the fungus and identified a novel virus, naming it "Neofusicoccum luteum mitovirus 1" (NLMV1), which has a genome of 2,389 nucleotides.
- The study found that NLMV1 encodes a protein related to RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps) of other viruses in the Narnaviridae family, marking the first evidence of a mycovirus infecting N. luteum.
