title: [Collection of pathogenic viruses: state of the problem and prospects].
abstract: The organizational and methodological separateness in the collection of pathogenic viruses impedes the development of universal approaches to practical collection. The authors propose a universal research program for the creation of specialized National Museums of Pathogens as reference and methodological centers within the framework of the Russian State Collection of Microorganisms. Further improvement of methods for virus collection is desirable.
