Novel endornaviruses infecting Phytophthora cactorum that attenuate vegetative growth, promote sporangia formation and confer hypervirulence to the host oomycete Two novel endornaviruses were found in Phytophthora cactorum isolated from black lesions on Boehmeria nivea var. nipononivea plants in a Japanese forest. These two endornaviruses were named Phytophtho...
