Abstract: In order to find and filtrate mycoviruses with biocontrol value, the taxonomy and transmission of mycovirus and the relationship of mycovirus with host and biocontrol were concluded, the family Totiviridae and Chyroviridae were presented in detail, and an example for the study on fungal viruses in Magnaporthe oryzae was set. The fungal vegetative incompatibility was a key limiting factor in mycovirus transmission and natural spread, so several suggestions were made to solve this problem: (1) screening mycoviruses with strong infectivity, (2) finding vectors of mycoviruses for application, (3) inhibiting vegetative incompatibility reaction using chemical compounds.
