Global parasitic helminths – mammalian hosts association records

This data file contains association records of focal parasitic worm species (helminths) in different mammalian host species compiled from the publicly available Host-Parasite Database (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/scientific-resources/taxonomy-systematics/host-parasites/) of the Natural History Museum (NHM), London (Gibson et al., 2005). Data extraction and revision is described in Wells et al. (2018). Location names were standardised to country names of the current world geopolitical map and assigned to one of 11 zoogeographical regions according to Holt et al. (2013). Unique host-parasite-country records are given for nine focal parasite species: Calodium hepaticum (Nematoda), Echinococcus granulosus (Cestoda), Echinococcus multilocularis (Cestoda), Hydatigera taeniaeformis (Cestoda), Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda), Mesocestoides lineatus (Cestoda), Taenia hydatigena (Cestoda), Trichinella spiralis (Nematoda) and Versteria mustelae (Cestoda). For records of non-focal parasitic helminth species in different host species and locations, binomial species names have been replaced with “0” to represent the full range mammal species with records of any parasitic helminth species (i.e. potential host species pools).
Column titles refer to the following content for serial records of host-parasite associations:
Host.Species – Binomial name of mammalian host species for which an association has been recorded.
Host.Order – Taxonomic order of host species.
Parasite.Species - Binomial name of parasitic helminth species (nine focal species) for which an association has been recorded. Records of non-focal parasitic helminth species are indicated with “0”, including all records of mammalian host species in the original database in which the focal parasites were not recorded.
Parasite.Taxa – Taxonomic classification of parasitic helminth species.
Location.Name – Name of the location of association record according to original database.
Country – Country name matching the location name of association record according to contemporary world geopolitical map.
Zoogeogr.Region – Zoogeographical region matching the location name of association record according to Holt et al. (2013).

本数据集文件收录了从伦敦自然历史博物馆（Natural History Museum, NHM）公开的宿主-寄生虫数据库（Host-Parasite Database，http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/scientific-resources/taxonomy-systematics/host-parasites/，Gibson等，2005）中整理得到的不同哺乳类宿主物种与重点寄生蠕虫（helminths）的关联记录。数据的提取与修订工作详见Wells等（2018）的研究。
所有位置名称已按照当前世界地缘政治地图统一为标准国家名称，并依据Holt等（2013）的分类标准划分为11个动物地理区。
本数据集包含9种重点寄生蠕虫物种的唯一宿主-寄生虫-国家关联记录，分别为：肝毛细线虫（Calodium hepaticum，线虫动物门（Nematoda））、细粒棘球绦虫（Echinococcus granulosus，绦虫动物门（Cestoda））、多房棘球绦虫（Echinococcus multilocularis，Cestoda）、Hydatigera taeniaeformis（Cestoda）、缩小膜壳绦虫（Hymenolepis diminuta，Cestoda）、线中殖孔绦虫（Mesocestoides lineatus，Cestoda）、水泡带绦虫（Taenia hydatigena，Cestoda）、旋毛虫（Trichinella spiralis，Nematoda）以及Versteria mustelae（Cestoda）。
对于其他非重点寄生蠕虫物种在不同宿主与地理位置的关联记录，其双名法物种名称已替换为“0”，以代表所有曾有任意寄生蠕虫记录的哺乳类宿主物种（即潜在宿主类群）。
以下为宿主-寄生虫关联序列记录的各列字段含义：
Host.Species：记录有宿主-寄生虫关联的哺乳类宿主物种的双名法名称。
Host.Order：宿主物种的分类阶元目。
Parasite.Species：记录有宿主-寄生虫关联的寄生蠕虫物种（含上述9种重点物种）的双名法名称。非重点寄生蠕虫物种的记录将以“0”标注，同时包含原始数据库中未记录重点寄生虫的所有哺乳类宿主物种的相关记录。
Parasite.Taxa：寄生蠕虫物种的分类学分类信息。
Location.Name：原始数据库中记录的关联发生地名称。
Country：依据当前世界地缘政治地图匹配的关联发生地所属国家名称。
Zoogeogr.Region：依据Holt等（2013）的分类标准匹配的关联发生地所属动物地理区。
