Characterising the skin microbiome of European common frog (Rana temporaria) from populations with and without a history of ranavirosis.

This project aimed to assess whether a history of disease associated with emerging viral pathogens belonging to the genus Ranavirus is predictive of the structure and composition of the amphibian skin microbiome. We used 16S amplicon deep sequencing techniques to characterise the microbiomes of frogs from populations with and without a history of acute ranaviral disease. The reads archived here and the raw unprocessed sequencing reads generated from skin samples of each individual frog.
