Abstract
A colony-print immunoassay (CPIA) using an anti-dsRNA antibody was developed to visualize the distribution of four unrelated mycoviruses with dsRNA genomes, a partitivirus (RnPV1), mycoreovirus (RnMyRV3), megabirnavirus (RnMBV1), and an unidentified virus (RnQV1), in mycelia of the white root rot fungus, Rosellinia necatrix. CPIA revealed different distribution patterns within single colonies for each virus. Both RnPV1 and RnMBV1 were distributed throughout single colonies, RnMyRV3 was absent from some colony sectors, and RnQV1 exhibited varied accumulation levels between sectors. RnMyRV3 and RnQV1 were transmitted to the recipient virus-free colonies of virus-infected and virus-free colony pairs more slowly than were RnPV1 or RnMBV1. The presence of RnMyRV3 in recipient colonies restricted horizontal transmission of RnPV1 and RnMBV1. These results imply that one or more mechanisms are present in host–virus and virus–virus interactions that restrict the spread of viruses within and between colonies.
