Microbiome dataset of the cardiopulmonary nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum.

ABSTRACT: Angiostrongylus vasorum is an emerging parasitic nematode of dogs, red foxes, and other wild canids. The severity of infection in dogs ranges from subclinical to fatal cardiopulmonary and bleeding disorders collectively known as canine angiostrongylosis. A symbiotic relationship between microorganisms such as bacteria and their eukaryotic hosts is commonly observed in nature. The mutualistic role of bacteria has been documented in plant-parasitic nematodes, gastrointestinal nematodes, and filarial nematodes. The importance of the bacteria for the survival of these parasites has been demonstrated with antibiotic treatments. To characterize associated bacteria of adult A. vasorum parasites, 36 individual worm samples were used. The worms were extracted from foxes hunted either
