Paradoxes of virology: problems and tasks

Abstract

The purpose. To show structure and function of pathogens of virus nature on the basis of own researches and researches carried out together with pupils-virologists and scientists of specialized laboratories of researches as well as analysis of results of studying viruses of different taxonomic groups. To present a substantiation of problems and tasks in the field of virology. Methods. Virologic, ecological, molecular and other specialized techniques in versatile experiments (electronic microscopy, IFA, PCR, culture of tissues, mathematical modelling, etc.). Results. Screening of virus infections of various organisms is made. On separate modelling systems it is opened nocuity of causal organisms of diseases and their modern molecular-biological properties, ubiquity. Viruses also are considered as vector systems of transfer of biological information in technologies of different levels of complexity. Problems with virus infections in agrarian and industrial complex, as well as virologic situations on state level are presented. Conclusions. At the state level it is necessary to change the attitude to development of virologic researches. Control of virus infections, their diagnostics and prophylaxis demand highly skilled experts, modern understanding of the role of viruses in nature, health protection, agriculture, defensive industry.
