A complex analysis of virus groups was carried out in order to find out possible ways of their macroevolution. The analysis was based on the detection of similar groups of viruses which could be considered to be evolutionally close. The similarity was evaluated both by a complex of virus properties (physicochemical, morphological, etc.) and using systemic analysis of means of genetic information transmission (MGIT) describing the features of replication and transmission properties. The developed systemic approach using the analysis of the MGIT system and integral differences between viruses by the totality of their properties helped to form models of virus evolution taking into account, in particular, their mono- or polyphyletic origin, more definite knowledge on pravirus(es) MGIT, etc. A monophyletic model of macroevolution of viruses was constructed.
为了找出病毒宏观进化的可能方式，对病毒群体进行了复杂分析。该分析基于检测可被认为在进化上相近的相似病毒群体。通过病毒特性复合体（物理化学、形态学等）以及使用描述复制和传播特性特征的遗传信息传递方式的系统分析（MGIT）来评估相似性。利用MGIT系统分析和病毒整体特性的整体差异所开发的系统方法有助于构建病毒进化模型，尤其考虑到它们的单系或多系起源、关于前病毒MGIT的更明确知识等。构建了病毒宏观进化的单系模型。
