title: Molecular characterization of a novel amalgavirus from the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.
abstract: Beauveria bassiana is a ubiquitous entomopathogen infecting hundreds of insect species. We have determined the genomic organization and the complete nucleotide sequence of a novel virus isolated from the isolate A24 of B. bassiana. Phylogenetic analysis of the polymerase gene reveals that the virus, tentatively named Beauveria bassiana virus 1, belongs to the family Amalgaviridae and represents a distinct lineage of amalgaviruses infecting fungi.
