Victor O. Zorrilla provides results of BLASTn searches for Bartonella DNA sequences detected in phlebotomine sand flies. The dataset includes GenBank accession numbers for reference strains and sequence identity percentages. It was last updated on May 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify Bartonella strains based on sequence similarity percentages mentioned in the description.
• Cross-reference detected sequences with known GenBank accession numbers provided in the data.
• Analyze genetic matches between sand fly samples and reference Bartonella strains.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Includes concrete metrics like sequence identity percentages and matching base counts.
• File size is 9.5 KB, indicating a focused, specific dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's small size (9.5 KB) indicates a very limited scope.
