Abstract
Predictive virology has emerged as a critical field leveraging computational methods to anticipate and manage viral threats. This article explores various computational approaches for predicting viral evolution, including methods for analyzing mutation rates, identifying potential drug resistance mutations, and forecasting the emergence of new viral variants. It also investigates computational methods used for predicting viral outbreaks, such as epidemiological modeling and machine learning algorithms applied to surveillance data. Furthermore, the article discusses computational techniques for predicting virus-host interactions, including structural modeling and machine learning approaches. Recent literature examples illustrate the application of these predictive methods to specific viruses and
viral diseases.
