Manila Clam Immune Priming Data on Survival, Pathogen Load, and Microbiota

Experimental data from a study on immune priming in the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) challenged with Vibrio europaeus. The dataset includes survival rates, pathogen concentration measurements, and full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing results of host microbiota. The data was authored by Bruno K. Rodino-Janeiro and last updated on 2026-04 10.

Use Cases

• Modeling host survival outcomes based on priming status and pathogen load.
• Analyzing shifts in microbial community composition associated with immune priming.
• Investigating correlations between specific bacterial taxa (e.g., Acinetobacter, Arcobacteraceae) and host mortality.
• Studying pathogen dynamics (Vibrio europaeus concentration) under different host immune conditions.

Strengths

• Includes specific survival rate comparisons (87% vs 0%) and pathogen concentration thresholds (~10^5 copies mg−1).
• Microbiota analysis identifies specific priming-associated bacterial genera (Acinetobacter, Brevundimonas, Sphingobium, Psychrobacter).
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is contained within a 1.7 MB PDF, which may require extraction for analysis.
