Metabarcoding reveals rodents as exclusive hosts of Hepatozoon hemoparasites among synanthropic small- to medium-sized mammals in suburban New Jersey, USA -- dataset

This dataset represents amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) from Hepatozoon parasites in small to medium sized mammals on Rutgers University New Brunswick campus, May to September 2021. Sequences were generated on an Illumina MiSeq platform and processed using the DADA2 pipeline (https://benjjneb.github.io/dada2/tutorial.html). This data is associated with the publication “Metabarcoding reveals rodents as exclusive hosts of Hepatozoon hemoparasites among synanthropic small- to medium-sized mammals in suburban New Jersey, USA” by Heidi E. Herb, Nicole E. Wagner, Francisco C. Ferreira, Julia González, and Dina M. Fonseca (in review). This record contains 2 data files: HepatozoonASVtable.csv This table contains the Hepatozoon ASVs recovered after the DADA2 pipeline. Column names are the nucleotide sequence of each distinct Hepatozoon ASV and row names are the unique mammal identifiers. Cell values are the number of reads for the associated ASV and mammal sample. Sequence_Identifers.csv This file includes the Genbank accession numbers, sequence identifiers, and ASV nucleotide sequences of each Hepatozoon sequence generated in the study. Metadata associated with unique mammal identifiers is available in Mendeley data “Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) on synanthropic small and medium-sized mammals in areas of the northeastern United States infested with the Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis - dataset“, contributors Francisco C.
