Rodent Bartonella Sequence Data

The identity of pITS variants detected in wood mice and bank voles sampled from 3 sites in Northwest England during 2011-2012 - Manor Wood (MW), Maresfield and Gordale (MFG) and Rode Hall (RH). "HOST.ID" is a unique number given to each rodent using a subcutaneous microchip. "BLOOD.NO." is a number that identifies each unique blood sample. Species identity of Bartonella was first determined by running PCR amplicons on an agarose gel. Most Bartonella species differ in length at this region of DNA and positive samples were grouped accordingly (size A = doshiae in BV and doshiae-like in WM, size B = grahamii, size C = taylorii, size D = birtlesii, size E = rochalimae-like in BV and BGA in WM). pITS band size is given for each sample, as multiple bands may have been sequenced from the same coinfected sample.
