Viruses are ubiquitous in the living world, and their ability to infect more than one host defines their host range. However, information about which virus infects which host, and about which host is infected by which virus, is not readily available.
We developed a web-based tool called the Viral Host Range database to record, analyze and disseminate experimental host range data for viruses infecting archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes.
The ViralHostRangeDB application is available from https://viralhostrangedb.pasteur.cloud. Its source code is freely available from the Gitlab instance of Institut Pasteur (https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/hub/viralhostrangedb).
病毒在生物界无处不在，它们感染多种宿主的能力决定了其宿主范围。然而，关于哪种病毒感染哪种宿主以及哪种宿主被哪种病毒感染的信息并不容易获取。
我们开发了一个名为病毒宿主范围数据库的基于网络的工具，用于记录、分析和传播感染古菌、细菌和真核生物的病毒的实验宿主范围数据。
ViralHostRangeDB应用程序可从https://viralhostrangedb.pasteur.cloud获取。其源代码可从巴斯德研究所的Gitlab实例（https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/hub/viralhostrangedb）免费获取。
