title: [Comparative study of animal viruses and a model design of their evolutionary relations].
abstract: A methodologic approach to the comparative study of viruses producing objective data not given by experimental biological studies has been developed. The comparative study is based on the quantitation of similarities of viruses based on integral differences of viruses in all the parameters under study. The results obtained permit us to consider all the viruses as a single system possessing a certain structure which reflects the degrees of similarity and differences between individual virus groups. The analysis of the immediate surroundings of each group determined 5 chains consisting of virus groups situated in the order of their retreat from the group corresponding to the Picornaviridae family. The revealed structure of the virus system allows modelling of evolutionary relations between individual virus groups to be made.
