Carcass weights, 28S rRNA alignment file and parasite sample vouchers collected from California tiger salamanders (Ambystoma californiense) CTS and Santa Cruz long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum croceum) SCLT from Prospect or Ellicott Pond, on E

November 5, 2021

Animal identification number, weight in grams for carcasses of California tiger salamanders (Ambystoma californiense) CTS and Santa Cruz long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum croceum) SCLT from Prospect or Ellicott Pond, on Ellicott Slough National Wildlife Refuge, California U.S.A. submitted to U.S. Geological Survey, National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) for determination of cause of death. NWHC Case 29381. MSF Sequence file used to construct a phylogenetic tree. Sequences were generated from samples at NWHC (Px) and using BLAST (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) they were compared for base pair similarities with publicly available sequences from GenBank. Sequences selected for the Multi Sequence Fast File (MSF) was based on the number of base pair similarities AND stage of parasite from which the sequence was generated. An excel file listing all parasites and hosts vouchered with the University of New Mexico, Museum of Southwestern Biology, Division of Parasitology.
