Abstract

Fungal infections continue to pose a significant burden on public health, necessitating the exploration of novel strategies for disease control. In recent years, mycoviruses, viruses that exclusively infect fungi, have emerged as potential tools for combating human fungal pathogens. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth examination of mycoviruses and their potential use as disease control agents in humans. We explore the mechanisms by which mycoviruses can reduce fungal virulence and discuss their application in antifungal therapeutics. Furthermore, we address the challenges and prospects associated with harnessing mycoviruses for disease control.
