This paper brings a brief survey of the achievements in virology as published from the second half of 20th century til now. In beginning, the virus research has been performed at framework of microbiology and/or closely by related biological disciplines, such as parasitology, pathology, mycology and/or cytology. The reason why virologists have been involved in many related scientific disciplines, has been, in addition, because viruses infect not only great many mammalian species, but also lower vertabrates (such as birds and reptiles) and/or certain plants. Even though there could be difficult to assess such great variety of scientific information, a great proportion a great proportion of authors at least has attempted doing with success. Needless to mention that though precise origin of viruses has not been cleared till now, they have probably sequestrated from cellular organelles and then sequently underwent to own (rather independent) evolution.
