From: A total infectome approach to understand the etiology of infectious disease in pigs
Total infectome characterization in 136 clinically diseased pigs. A Heat map showing the prevalence and abundance of pathogens in each of the cases. The pathogens (x-axis) are divided into five different groups—RNA viruses, DNA viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, and fungi. The cases (y-axis) are divided based on sampling year and locations, including seven regions across China. B Comparisons of pathogen abundance measured by qPCR and meta-transcriptomics approaches. Abundance by RT-qPCR methods (x-axis) is measured by cycle threshold, (i.e., Ct value), while those by meta-transcriptomics (y-axis) are measured by RPM in log10 scale. The comparisons are performed on three representative pathogens: PRRSV (RNA virus), PRV (DNA virus), and Pneumocystis (fungi)
