Abstract
Viruses are responsible for spreading diseases and severe threats to humankind. Emerging viruses and their enigmatic genomic mutations are a serious concern. Lack of precise elucidation and availability of insufficient data is the main barrier to overcoming virus pandemics and epidemics. To tackle the viruses and their emerging variants, the combination of virology and knowledge of bioinformatics leads to light for healthy beings. Viroinformatics is the umbrella term that covers both virology and bioinformatics-based applications. It comprises web servers, tools, and databases flooded with information related to viruses. Resources reported in the chapter include information about coronaviruses, flaviviruses, alphaviruses, influenza viruses, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The chapter also includes the applications of databases and web servers specific to viruses to contribute towards effective vaccines and drug development.
