AI-Driven Predictive Biotechnology Framework for Modeling Viral Mutation Hotspots Using Genomic Sequence Analysis
Abstract: Viral mutations represent one of the most critical challenges in global public health because genetic changes in viruses can significantly influence transmissibility, virulence, immune escape capability, and resistance to antiviral treatments. RNA viruses in particular exhibit high mutation rates due to error-prone replication mechanisms, making them capable of evolving rapidly in response to environmental pressures and host immune defenses. Traditional virological research primarily relies on retrospective genomic analysis, where viral …

Molecular Surveillance of Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV) and Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) Across Major Aquaculture Zones of Telangana, India
Abstract: Viral diseases represent a persistent threat to cyprinid aquaculture; however, region-specific surveillance data from tropical production systems remain limited. To address this gap, a comprehensive statewide active surveillance programme was undertaken across Telangana, India, from 2019 to 2022 to investigate the occurrence of two priority transboundary pathogens, Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV) and Koi Herpesvirus (KHV). A total of 414 fish specimens were systematically collected from five surveillance sectors …

Lysogenic Phage Cocktails with Embedded Fluorophores for Field Wound Diagnostics.
Abstract: Rapid and accurate detection of wound infections in field settings remains a critical challenge in emergency and military medicine. Conventional microbiological diagnostics are time- consuming and laboratory-dependent. Bacteriophages, particularly lysogenic phages, offer high specificity toward bacterial hosts and can be engineered as diagnostic tools. A translational framework was developed for lysogenic bacteriophage cocktails embedded with fluorophore reporters for rapid, point-of-care wound diagnostics. Mechanisms of phage infection, lysogenic integration, and fluorophore …

Overcoming Obstacles to an HIV-1 Cure: Advances in Genome Editing, Immune System Reprogramming, and Viral Reservoir Elimination
Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) continues to represent a major global health challenge despite the remarkable success of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although ART effectively suppresses viral replication and prolongs survival, it cannot eradicate the virus due to the persistence of long-lived latent reservoirs. In recent years, innovative therapeutic strategies have been explored with the aim of achieving either a functional remission or complete viral elimination. Advances in genome-editing technologies, particularly …

The Role of Rubella Virus Infection among Women with Spontaneous Abortion in Al-Najaf Governorate
Abstract: Rubella virus could cause a spectrum of birth defects known as Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) if the infection occurs within the first or second trimester of pregnancy. Repeated miscarriage is defined as a condition with two or more consecutive abortions before the 20–25 weeks of gestation. Rubella remains to be a severe public health problem in developing countries. Recurrent miscarriage is a multi-factorial disease, which occurs in approximately 1%–2% of …

An Overview of AI-Driven IoT Framework for Real-Time Pathogen Surveillance and Predictive Decision Support: KSK Approach
Abstract: The rapid globalization of trade and travel has underscored the critical need for proactive, data-driven systems capable of intercepting viral outbreaks before they cascade into global crises. This paper introduces an integrated architecture that fuses the Internet of Things (IoT) with advanced Machine Learning (ML) to establish a real-time, autonomous decision-making framework for viral studies. By deploying a dense network of smart biosensors and edge-computing nodes, our system continuously monitors …
