Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

42
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence

61
Infectious diseases appear in populations through various transmission patterns, influenced by pathogen characteristics, population immunity, environmental conditions, and social behavior. Understanding these patterns is essential for effective public health surveillance and intervention. These categories—sporadic, outbreak, epidemic, pandemic, and endemic—help frame the nature and scope of disease events.Sporadic diseases occur irregularly and infrequently, without a predictable...

Introduction to Virus

2.8K
Viruses are unique biological entities that blur the boundary between living and non-living systems. Although they lack cellular structure and metabolic processes, they can exhibit characteristics of life when infecting a host. Their defining feature is a nucleic acid core, composed of either DNA or RNA, encapsulated within a protein coat called a capsid. This simple structure allows them to invade host cells and use their machinery for replication efficiently.Viral Structure and...

Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

42
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Ebola virus (EBOV) is a lethal pathogen causing Ebola virus disease (EVD), a severe hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate.
  • The ongoing epidemic in West Africa highlights the urgent need for consolidated knowledge on EBOV to advance research.
  • Existing knowledge on EBOV is fragmented, hindering the understanding of molecular mechanisms and the development of effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated, Ebola virus-centered Knowledge Base (Ebola-KB).
  • To leverage Linked Data and Semantic Web Technologies for knowledge aggregation and accessibility.
  • To support biomedical researchers in understanding EBOV and identifying potential therapeutic targets.

Main Methods:

  • Knowledge retrieval and aggregation from multiple open data sources, web services, and biomedical ontologies.
  • Transformation of retrieved data into Resource Description Framework (RDF) format.
  • Linking RDF data to existing Bio2RDF datasets and making it accessible via a SPARQL 1.1 Endpoint.
  • Development of an interactive Dashboard for exploring the integrated knowledge.

Main Results:

  • Successfully created the Ebola-KB, an integrated repository of EBOV-related information.
  • Established a SPARQL 1.1 Endpoint for programmatic access to the knowledge base.
  • Developed an interactive Dashboard for intuitive exploration of EBOV data.
  • Demonstrated the utility of Ebola-KB in answering domain-specific questions regarding EBOV druggability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Ebola-KB effectively integrates diverse knowledge on Ebola virus using semantic web technologies.
  • Ebola-KB provides a valuable resource for researchers studying EBOV, facilitating a deeper understanding of the disease.
  • The integrated knowledge base and its interactive dashboard can accelerate the development of diagnostics and therapeutics for Ebola virus disease.
