Here we describe a novel (-)ssRNA mycovirus, Fusarium graminearum negative-stranded RNA virus 1 (FgNSRV-1), isolated from Fusarium graminearum strain HN1. The genome of FgNSRV-1 is 9072 nucleotides in length, with five discontinuous but linear ORFs (ORF I-V). Phylogenetic analysis based on entire L polymerase sequences indicated that FgNSRV-1 is related to the (-)ssRNA mycovirus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded RNA virus 1 (SsNSRV-1), and other mycoviruses. Our data suggest that FgNSRV-1 can be classified into the family Mymonaviridae, order Mononegavirales. Putative enveloped virion-like structures with filamentous morphology similar to SsNSRV-1 were observed in virion preparation samples. The L proteins of FgNSRV-1, and other fungal mononegaviruses, were found to be related to L protein-like sequences in some fungal genome, supporting the hypothesis that there is coevolution occurring between mycoviruses and fungi. Besides, clearing the virus from the infected host fungus resulted in no discernable phenotypic change.

Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a contagious, blistering disease caused by the Foot-and-Mouth Disease virus (FMDV), which affects livestock globally. Currently, no commercial antiviral agent is available for effective disease control. This study investigated the antiviral potential of natural-derived alkaloids against FMDV in BHK-21 cells.

The potato leafhopper (, PLH) is a serious pest that feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops and is found throughout the United States but is not known to be a vector for plant-infecting viruses. We probed the diversity of virus sequences in field populations of PLH collected from four Midwestern states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota. High-throughput sequencing data from total RNAs extracted from PLH were used to assemble sequences of fifteen positive-stranded RNA viruses, two negative-stranded RNA viruses, and one DNA virus.

Small hydrophobic (SH) proteins are a class of viral accessory proteins expressed by many members of the negative-stranded RNA viral families . Identified SH proteins are type I or II transmembrane (TM) proteins with a single-pass TM domain. Little is known about the functions of SH proteins; however, several possess viroporin activity, enhancing membrane permeability of infected cells or those expressing SH protein.

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV; genus Phlebovirus, family Phenuiviridae, order Bunyavirales) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic pathogen endemic in Africa. Its negative-stranded genomic RNA (vRNA) is divided into three segments termed L, M, and S. Both vRNAs and antigenomic cRNAs are encapsidated by viral nucleoprotein (N) to form nucleocapsids, which constitute the template for genome transcription and replication.

The genus Jeilongvirus comprises non-segmented negative-stranded RNA viruses that are classified within the Paramyxoviridae family by phylogeny. Jeilongviruses are found in various reservoirs, including rodents and bats. Rodents are typical viral reservoirs with diverse spectra and zoonotic potential.
