Pathogenomics is a field which uses high-throughput screening technology and bioinformatics to study encoded microbe resistance, as well as virulence factors (VFs), which enable a microorganism to infect a host and possibly cause disease.
The AMRFinderPlus tool from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is a bioinformatic tool that allows users to identify antimicrobial resistance determinants, stress response, and virulence genes in bacterial genomes. [2] This tool's development began in 2018 (as AMRFinder) and is still underway.
Plant disease forecasting is a management system used to predict the occurrence or change in severity of plant diseases. At the field scale, these systems are used by growers to make economic decisions about disease treatments for control. Often the systems ask the grower a series of questions about the susceptibility of the host crop, and ...
Infectious disease dynamics. Mathematical models need to integrate the increasing volume of data being generated on host - pathogen interactions. Many theoretical studies of the population dynamics, structure and evolution of infectious diseases of plants and animals, including humans, are concerned with this problem.
COVID-19 simulation models are mathematical infectious disease models for the spread of COVID-19. [1] The list should not be confused with COVID-19 apps used mainly for digital contact tracing . Note that some of the applications listed are website-only models or simulators, and some of those rely on (or use) real-time data from other sources.
Manual Curation. The Pathogen-Host Interactions database ( PHI-base) [1] is a biological database that contains manually curated information on genes experimentally proven to affect the outcome of pathogen-host interactions. The database has been maintained by researchers at Rothamsted Research and external collaborators since 2005.
Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [a] Computational systems biology [b] [1] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems. It involves the use of computer simulations of ...
PhytoPath was a joint scientific project between the European Bioinformatics Institute and Rothamsted Research, running from January 2012 [1] to May 30, 2017. [2] The project aimed to enable the exploitation of the growing body of “-omics” data being generated for phytopathogens, their plant hosts and related model species.
