Population biology of Cryphonectria parasitica infected with Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 on American chestnut trees

In the early 1900's the American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) was nearly destroyed by the introduction of the orange-pigmented, chestnut blight fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr). Chestnut blight is less severe in Europe, where hypovirulent (= reduced virulence) strai...
