Description

<jats:p>Members of the family <jats:italic>Polymycoviridae</jats:italic> are small viruses with multi-segmented and non-conventionally encapsidated double-stranded (ds) RNA genomes. Typically, polymycoviruses have four genomic segments, although some have up to eight. The genus <jats:italic>Polymycovirus</jats:italic> includes several species whose members infect fungi (ascomycetes and basidiomycetes), and oomycetes, altering host morphology, sporulation, growth and virulence. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family <jats:italic>Polymycoviridae,</jats:italic> which is available at <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.ictv.global/report/polymycoviridae" xlink:type="simple">ictv.global/report/polymycoviridae</jats:ext-link>.</jats:p>
