Kudoa Neurophila Parasite Prevalence and Histopathology in Striped Trumpeter

Research data from a PhD project on the Striped Trumpeter (Latris lineata). It records the prevalence of the myxozoan parasite Kudoa neurophila in relation to fish age using histology and PCR testing. The study also used histology and in situ hybridisation to investigate the disease's histopathology, including the parasite's entry point and migratory pathway.

Use Cases

• Modeling parasite prevalence by fish age based on histology and PCR test results.
• Analyzing histopathological changes in fish tissue caused by Kudoa neurophila infection.
• Studying the host entry point and migratory pathway of the parasite based on in situ hybridisation data.

Strengths

• Data incorporates multiple diagnostic techniques: histology, PCR, and in situ hybridisation.
• Focuses on a specific host-parasite system: Kudoa neurophila in Striped Trumpeter.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
