| Abstract | The Herpesviridae are a large family of DNA viruses. Several members of this family are known to cause disease in animals and human. In particular there are several lines of evidence for involvement in human cancer and autoimmune conditions. Although this group of viruses has been investigated intensively for several decades molecular mechanisms and roles in the development of associated diseases are not yet fully understood. Bioinformatics and Systems Biology allow to incorporate current knowledge with high throughput Omics data to analyze them in the context of molecular networks. Among the applications of this development, effects of pathogen proteins and non-coding RNAs can be more readily understood by viewing their human targets in their functional-dependency network. Combination of generated networks with disease specific transcriptomics data allows to analyze the effect of pathogen proteins in the context of medically relevant phenomena. Additional enrichment with drug-target information allows generating new hypotheses for drug re-use or drug repositioning of currently available drugs to treat herpes virus associated diseases. Here we show publicly available Epstein-Barr virus data in the context of a meta-network which combines a proprietary human interaction network (omicsNET), drug-target networks, host-pathogen networks and orthology networks. EBV, a clinically relevant human Lymphocryptovirus, is of high immunological interest also due to its potential to bias natural immune responses by establishing (life-long) latent infection in memory B-cells. We thereby exemplify implications of a Systems view for better understanding of pathogen mode of action. Our work towards a methodological basis for selection of drugs which could be of interest in the treatment of this class of pathogens is presented. While investigating options for development of novel therapies we place particular focus on the application potentials of Systems Biology for selection of candidate vaccine targets in light of chronic infections not amenable to classical vaccination strategies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
