Abstrakt		Background. Author is trying to demonstrate that molecular virology has succeded to unite all special branches of virology. In details the discovery of hepatitis virus C is presented and the importance of the new hepatitis virus is outlined. As a new development the classification of Norwalk virus and Borna agents is mentioned and their importance for medicine stressed. Sequencing of whole viral genoms is described and some efforts to obtain them with vaccinia viruses are given. Conclusions. PCR is obviously a highly important advance as the possibilities are vaste not only for medicine but also for a number of other natural sciences such as paleontology, forensic medicine and others. A description of Mullise's considerations in discovering PCR are given as described by Mullis himself. Gen transfer is the next astonishing development of medical virology and the use of some atenuated adenoviruses with integrated gen for cystic fibrosis is described in general terms. The search for an effective anti HIV vaccine is represented as a central issue in todays virology and some disappointements are outlined. Viruses and cancer is the last theme author is trying to explain admitting that the problem is not simple but complex. A case of "good" and a case of "bad" news for antiviral therapy are described.
