Novel Partitivirus Enhances Virulence of and Causes Aberrant Gene Expression in Talaromyces marneffei

Novel Partitivirus Enhances Virulence of and Causes Aberrant Gene Expression in Talaromyces marneffei

Talaromyces marneffei is the most important thermal dimorphic fungus causing systemic mycosis in Southeast Asia. We report the discovery of a novel partitivirus, Talaromyces marneffeipartitivirus-1 (TmPV1). TmPV1 was detected in 7 (12.7%) of 55 clinical T. marneffei isolates. Complete genome sequenc...
