Infectious diseases, including vector-borne diseases transmitted by arthropods, are a
leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the era of big data, addressing broad …

Zoonotic diseases or zoonoses are infections due to the natural transmission of pathogens
between species (animals and humans). More than 70% of emerging infectious diseases …

Bacterial pathogens continue to threaten public health worldwide today. Identification of
bacterial virulence factors can help to find novel drug/vaccine targets against pathogenicity …

Diseases that spread to humans from animals, zoonoses, pose major threats to human
health. Identifying animal reservoirs of zoonoses and predicting future outbreaks are …

In recent years, massive attention has been attracted to the development and application of
machine learning (ML) in the field of infectious diseases, not only serving as a catalyst for …

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are spread by direct and/or indirect contacts between a
pathogen or parasite and their hosts. Arthropod vectors have evolved as excellent …

Background With the global spread of multidrug resistance in pathogenic microbes,
infectious diseases emerge as a key public health concern of the recent time. Identification …

This study introduces VF-Pred, a novel framework developed for the purpose of detecting
virulence factors (VFs) through the analysis of genomic data. VFs are crucial for pathogens …

Parasitic diseases caused by protozoan pathogens lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths
per year in addition to substantial suffering and socioeconomic decline for millions of people …

Host-pathogen protein interactions (HPPIs) play vital roles in many biological processes and
are directly involved in infectious diseases. With the outbreak of more frequent pandemics in …
