Abstract

Viruses are nearly ubiquitous throughout the fungal kingdom, occurring in every major fungal group (Buck, 1986). Although first discovered in 1962, within 20 years fungal viruses were found in over 100 species, and may eventually be found in at least 30% of all fungal species (Buck, 1986; Ghabrial, 1980). Other than surveys, the vast majority of research on fungal viruses has been directed towards the interactions of viruses with fungal hosts at the organismal and molecular levels; these aspects of fungal virology have been extensively reviewed (Buck, 1986; Buck, 1998; Ghabrial, 1980; Ghabrial, 1994; Koltin and Leibowitz, 1988; Lemke, 1979b; Molitoris et al., 1979; Nuss and Koltin, 1990; Wickner, 1996).
