Abstract

Novel findings and concepts in the field of virology particularly regarding virosphere and giruses - a group of large nuclear-cytoplasmic deoxyriboviruses are briefly summarized. In the context of novel understanding the major taxonomic features and virus pathogenicity including African swine plague are interpreted.
