Table 5_Prevalence of Lawsonia intracellularis and characteristics of gut microbiomes of t

672 fecal and 300 serum samples were collected from five intensive pig farms in Shaanxi Province, China, during 2022–2023 to study Lawsonia intracellularis infection. The study, authored by Yu Wang, reports a 15.3% fecal positive rate and uses 16S rRNA sequencing to analyze differences in microbial communities between infected and non-infected pigs.

Use Cases

• Modeling pathogen prevalence based on regional and farm-level sample data.
• Analyzing associations between specific gut microbial taxa and Lawsonia intracellularis infection status.
• Identifying microbial biomarkers for infection using the random forest analysis results mentioned.
• Comparing fecal microbial diversity between infected and non-infected animal cohorts.

Strengths

• Includes specific prevalence rates with 95% confidence intervals (15.3% fecal, 14.7% serum).
• Data is derived from a substantial sample collection (672 fecal, 300 serum samples).
• Analysis includes multiple techniques (qPCR, ELISA, 16S rRNA sequencing, LEfSe, network analysis).
• Clear temporal (2022-2023) and geographic (Shaanxi Province, China) scope.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (10.5 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data.
