Ebola Virus (EBOV) is one of the deadliest pathogenic virus which causes hemorrhagic fever. Though many Ebola-human interaction studies and databases are already reported, the unavailability of an adequate model and lack of publically accessible resources requires a comprehensive study to curate the Ebola-Human-Drug interactions. In total, 270 human proteins interacted with EBOV are collected from published experimental evidence. Then the protein-protein interaction networks are generated as EBOV-human and EBOV-Human-Drugs interaction. These results can help the researcher to find the effective repurposed drug for EBOV treatment. Further, the illustration of gene enrichment and pathway analysis would provide knowledge and insight of EBOV-human interaction describes the importance of the study. Investigating the networks may help to identify a suitable human-based drug target for ebola research community. The inclusion of an emerging concept, a human-based drug targeted therapy plays a very significant role in drug repurposing which reduces the time and effort is the highlight of the current research. An integrated database namely, Ebolabase has been developed and linked with other repositories such as Epitopes, Structures, Literature, Genomics and Proteomics. All generated networks are made to be viewed in a customized manner and the required data can be downloaded freely. The Ebolabase is available at http://ebola.bicpu.edu.in.
