Viral Host Range database, an online tool for recording, analyzing and disseminating virus–host interactions

MOTIVATION: Viruses are ubiquitous in the living world, and their ability to infect more than one host defines their host range. However, information about which virus infects which host, and about which host is infected by which virus, is not readily available. RESULTS: We developed a web-based too...

Sumario:MOTIVATION: Viruses are ubiquitous in the living world, and their ability to infect more than one host defines their host range. However, information about which virus infects which host, and about which host is infected by which virus, is not readily available. RESULTS: We developed a web-based tool called the Viral Host Range database to record, analyze and disseminate experimental host range data for viruses infecting archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The ViralHostRangeDB application is available from https://viralhostrangedb.pasteur.cloud. Its source code is freely available from the Gitlab instance of Institut Pasteur (https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/hub/viralhostrangedb).
