Abstract

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae harbors two families of dsRNA viruses (L-A and its satellites, and L-BC), two ssRNA replicons (20S RNA and 23S RNA) and five retrovirus-like elements (Tyl,..., Ty5), referred to as retrotransposons (for previous reviews, see Boeke and Sandmeyer 1991; Esteban et al. 1993; Wickner 2001). Most strains carry all of these elements in spite of the fact that none are known to have a natural extracellular route of infection. This may be a reflection of the fact that Saccharomyces,like many other fungi, mate frequently in nature so these viruses become widely distributed. S. cerevisiae has also been used as a host for plant and insect viruses, in order to utilize its well-developed genetic system (Janda and Ahlquist 1993; Price et al. 1996).
