Abstract: With the rapid development of technology, virtual reality (VR) technology, as an innovative educational tool, is increasingly attracting attention from the medical education community. This article analyzes the characteristics and difficulties of infectious disease teaching, summarizes and looks at the characteristics and applications of VR technology. It explores the application prospects and possibilities of VR technology in infectious disease teaching and research, and proposes the establishment of a VR electronic database for infectious disease basic and experiment teaching. By combining data models with VR technology, it may help to realize the simulation and linkage of pathogen types, pathogenesis, and corresponding strategies.

Key words: teaching of infectious diseases, virtual reality technology, virtual reality database
