Composition and topology of the Rhipicephalus microplus midgut microbiota during an infection with Babesia bovis.
This dataset comprises mass sequencing data obtained by amplifying the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene from the microbiota present in the midgut of Rhipicephalus microplus. Sequencing was made isung the Illumina MiSeq platform.Data is divided into 4 groups based on the Babesia bovis infection status and the post-repletion time the tissue was disected: 0 h uninfected (W), 72 h uninfected (X), 0 h infected (Y) and 72 h infected (Z).
