Raw un-demultiplexed V4 16s rRNA sequences from I. hirsti ticks collected from six conservation parks (South Australia) between 2005 to 2015

Data were collected from 83 ticks across six study sites in South Australia to test if a simple metric of habitat area can predict microbial diversity and prevalence of pathogenic bacterial genera in avian ticks. Ticks were collected opportunistically from birds captured in mist nets. The V4 region of the 16s ribosomal RNA gene of microbes found in the ticks were then sequenced.Date coverage: 2005 - 2015Location: South Australia, Australia

本研究数据采集自澳大利亚南澳大利亚六个研究地点的83个样本，旨在验证栖息地面积这一简单指标是否能够预测鸟类蜱虫中的微生物多样性以及致病菌属的普遍性。蜱虫样本通过捕鸟网捕获的鸟类随机收集。随后，对蜱虫中发现的微生物的16s核糖体RNA基因的V4区域进行了测序。数据覆盖时间：2005-2015年，地理位置：澳大利亚南澳大利亚。
