Comparative analysis of Far Eastern strains of phytoviruses together with related viruses from other geographical regions has uncovered the role of specific regional climate, soil, and ecosystem conditions in phytovirus specification. We consider that the appreciable differences in phenotypical, antigenic, and genetic properties of investigated strains could underlie virus speciation as well as form intra-genera structure.
