New virus symbionts dropped in leafcutter ants. Two +#ssRNA #mycovirus strains: #Leucoagaricus #gongylophorus tymo-like virus 1 (LgTlV1) Leucoagaricus gongylophorus magoulivirus 1 (LgMV1) Might even be mutualistic, we will see with more research!
As the dominant herbivores in the neotropics, the leafcutter ants cultivate a fungus to break down the plant biomass We knew this symbiosis was composed of several players, pathogenic fungi, beneficial bacteria, etc But now we add mycoviruses to this list https://t.co/nNEdCWZTU7

Which Colletotrichum species cause leaf, pod and flower diseases on the orphan legume African yam bean? #OpenAccess paper has the answers:
bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
In African yam bean, a polyphasic approach identified Colletotrichum siamense, C. theobromicola and C. fructicola as leaf pathogens, and C. truncatum as the cause of pod and bud diseases.
