Abstract
It is an honor for me to give the Keynote Address at the Third International Symposium on Positive Strand RNA Viruses because I am following two major figures in positive strand RNA virus research. The Keynote Addresses at the two previous meetings were given by David Baltimore in 1986 and Paul Kaesberg in 1989. The first of these addresses was a highly detailed description of the genetics of poliovirus. The second was rather more philosophical and historical, pointing out important relationships between the animal and plant viruses coming under the general umbrella of positive strand RNA viruses, but stopping at events before 1975.
