Abstract
A novel double-strand RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus, named “Colletotrichum fioriniae alternavirus1” (CfAV1), was isolated from the strain CX7 of Colletotrichum fioriniae, the causal agent of walnut anthracnose. The complete genome of CfAV1 is composed of three dsRNA segments: dsRNA1 (3528 bp), dsRNA2 (2485 bp), and dsRNA3 (2481 bp). The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is encoded by dsRNA1, while both dsRNA2 and dsRNA3 encode hypothetical proteins. Based on multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analysis, CfAV1 is identified as a new member of the family Alternaviridae. This is the first report of an alternavirus that infects the phytopathogenic fungus C. fioriniae.
