Application of metagenomic shotgun sequencing to detect vector-borne pathogens in clinical blood samples

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Vector-borne pathogens are a significant public health concern worldwide. Infections with these pathogens, some of which are emerging, are likely under-recognized due to the lack of widely-available laboratory tests. There is an urgent need for further advancement in diagnostic modalities to detect new and known vector-borne pathogens. We evaluated the utility of metagenomic shotgun sequencing (MGS)...
