Clostridium Perfringens Genomic and Epidemiological Data from Juvenile Bactrian Camels

Research data on Clostridium perfringens infection in Bactrian camels, including epidemiological, pathological, and whole-genome sequencing results. The dataset was created by Wanpeng Ma and last updated on 2026-05-29. It reports an incidence of 37.89% and a mortality rate of 54.17% among the studied camels.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the whole-genome sequences of eight C. perfringens strains.
• Epidemiological modeling of disease incidence and mortality rates in juvenile Bactrian camels.
• Identification of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes annotated from genomic data.
• Phylogenetic analysis to study genomic divergence of camel-derived strains relative to other animal sources.

Strengths

• Includes specific epidemiological figures: 37.89% incidence (72/190) and 54.17% mortality (39/72).
• Provides whole-genome sequencing results for eight strains, with genome lengths and predicted gene counts.
• Annotations include Gene Ontology, KEGG pathways, virulence factors, and six identified drug resistance genes.

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 12.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
