ZOVER

ZOVER aggregates and harmonizes data on zoonotic and vector-borne viruses from bats, rodents, mosquitoes, and ticks to support comparative analyses of virome diversity and host–vector interactions.

Key Features:

• Integration of DBatVir and DRodVir: Amalgamates data from DBatVir and DRodVir to consolidate bat- and rodent-associated viral records.
• Expanded virus collection: Extends coverage to include mosquito- and tick-associated viruses for broader representation of arboviral vectors.
• Comprehensive resource: Compiles a broad catalog of zoonotic and vector-borne viral taxa and host–vector associations.
• Visualization tools for comparative analyses: Provides visualization tools to explore virome diversity and ecological characteristics across hosts and vectors.

Scientific Applications:

• Virology research: Supports analyses of virus evolution, host adaptation, and cross-species transmission mechanisms.
• Zoology studies: Aids investigation of the ecological roles of bats, rodents, mosquitoes, and ticks as reservoirs or vectors.
• Epidemiological surveillance: Enables monitoring of viral diversity and dynamics to inform prediction and prevention of interspecies spillover events.

Methodology:

Systematic collection and integration of data from multiple sources with continuous updates incorporating current research findings.
