Clostridium Perfringens Genomic and Epidemiological Data from Juvenile Bactrian Camels

Wanpeng Ma's research dataset from 2026 provides epidemiological and genomic data on Clostridium perfringens infections in Bactrian camels. It includes data from 190 camels, with an incidence rate of 37.89% and a mortality rate of 54.17% among affected animals. The dataset contains results from whole-genome sequencing of eight bacterial strains, identifying toxin genes, virulence factors, and novel sequence types.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on whole-genome sequencing data for eight bacterial strains.
• Epidemiological modeling of disease incidence and mortality rates in a camel population.
• Identification of virulence factors and drug resistance genes annotated from specialized databases.
• Phylogenetic analysis to study genomic divergence of strains isolated from Bactrian camels.

Strengths

• Dataset includes specific epidemiological figures: 190 camels surveyed, 37.89% incidence, 54.17% mortality.
• Whole-genome sequencing data is provided for eight distinct bacterial strains.
• Analysis includes annotation from multiple databases (Gene Ontology, KEGG, VFDB, CARD) for functional and pathogenic insights.
• Identifies three novel sequence types (ST1057, ST1058, ST1059).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 10.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
