Pathogen Portal

Pathogen Portal is a repository linking to the Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRCs) sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and maintained by The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute. The BRCs are providing web-based resources to scientific community conducting basic and applied research on organisms considered potential agents of biowarfare or bioterrorism or causing emerging or re-emerging diseases. The Pathogen Portal supports and links to five Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRCs). Each BRC specializes in a different group of pathogens, focusing on, but not limited to, pathogens causing (Re-)Emerging Infectious Diseases, and those in the NIAID Category A-C Priority Pathogen lists for biodefense research. The scope of the BRCs also includes Invertebrate Vectors of Human Disease. Pathogen Portal covers EuPathDB, IRD, PATRIC, VectorBase and ViPR.

病原体门户是一个链接至由美国过敏与传染病研究所（NIAID）资助并由弗吉尼亚生物信息学研究所维护的生物信息资源中心（BRCs）的数据库。这些BRCs为从事基础与应用研究，针对被视为生物战或生物恐怖主义潜在制剂的微生物，或引起新发或再现疾病的微生物的科学界提供基于网络的资源。病原体门户支持并链接至五个生物信息资源中心（BRCs），每个中心专注于不同类别的病原体，其研究重点包括但不限于（Re-)新发传染病病原体，以及列入NIAID生物防御研究A-C类优先病原体名单的病原体。BRCs的研究范围亦涵盖人类疾病的无脊椎动物传播媒介。病原体门户涵盖EuPathDB、IRD、PATRIC、VectorBase及ViPR。
