Occurrence and host preferences of *Anopheles maculipennis* group mosquitoes in England and Wales #53

Open gbif-portal opened 7 years ago

Occurrence and host preferences of Anopheles maculipennis group mosquitoes in England and Wales

Dataset link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/mve.12023

Region: United Kingdom

Taxon: Anopheles maculipennis group

Type: occurrence

Why is this important: Field specimen data alone would more than double available data for the species in the UK. It's also linked to genetic sequencing data, and, given relatively small size, might prove a useful candidate for linking to genetic data.

Priority: medium

License: Unspecified

Bibliographic reference: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/mve.12023

Comments: @kcopas to connect with data holder and explore preliminary interest in sharing data before handing off to UK national node

@kcopas is there any follow-up to connecting with the data holder that we should log here, please? We do not seem to have seen this dataset to other channels so far.

kcopas commented 3 years ago

Nope. Happy to do so, though—shall we assign this to me?

ahahn-gbif commented 3 years ago

thanks, @kcopas :)!

Emailing Renita, noting the open call now…

The data generated for the 2013 paper was not from NGS but ABI single sequences (ITS2). Would this be something that would be interesting to GBIF? We would fulfil 2/3 requirements for the data paper: research of human vector-borne diseases, data is openly available ie cleaned sequences are on Genbank. I am not sure if I have the raw data…

There may be other NGS data, derived from faecal and invertebrate samples, that would be relevant but the paper is not published.

Response suggests that the number of records may be <5,000 records, but we have several ITS2-derived datasets (including BIOWIDE), and A. maculipennis is a competent malaria vector across its range. Suggest that health help desk follow up and explore options for this and other data.
