Clostridium Perfringens in Bactrian Camels: Genomic and Epidemiological Data

72 cases of Clostridium perfringens disease were identified in a study of 190 juvenile Bactrian camels, with a mortality rate of 54.17%. The dataset includes epidemiological, physiological, pathological, and whole-genome sequencing results for eight bacterial strains. It was authored by Wanpeng Ma and last updated on 2026-05-29.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on whole-genome sequences of eight C. perfringens strains.
• Epidemiological modeling of disease incidence and mortality rates in camel populations.
• Identification of virulence factors and drug resistance genes annotated from genomic data.
• Phylogenetic analysis of bacterial strains based on core genome divergence mentioned in the study.

Strengths

• Includes specific epidemiological figures: 37.89% incidence and 54.17% mortality rate.
• Whole-genome sequencing data for eight strains with genome lengths and predicted gene counts provided.
• Annotations include virulence factors, drug resistance genes, and novel sequence types (ST1057-1059).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data scale is limited to 194.4 KB, suggesting a small, focused study.
