Synopsis: The book stands at the intersection of medical virology, computer science engineering, and artificial intelligence. This interdisciplinary book seeks to harness the strengths of these fields to address the complex challenges of diagnosing, treating, and managing viral diseases. Medical virology, which studies viruses and virus-like agents, plays a critical role in understanding infectious diseases and developing therapeutic strategies. However, the field faces immense challenges due to the sheer volume and complexity of virological data, which demands advanced computational tools for effective analysis and application. Computer science engineering provides the technological backbone for this initiative. Engineers in this field develop and implement sophisticated algorithms and data structures that enable the processing of large-scale virological datasets. In this context, computer science engineering is pivotal for creating the infrastructure necessary for deep learning and blockchain technologies. Deep learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, involves training neural networks to recognize patterns in vast datasets, enabling the discovery of insights that are otherwise obscured. When applied to medical virology, deep learning can significantly enhance the accuracy of viral diagnostics, predict disease outbreaks, and personalize treatment regimens based on the genetic makeup of both viruses and patients
