-There over 60 zoonoses linked to small mammals, including some of the most devastating pathogens in human history. Meanwhile, millions of museum-archived tissues are available to understand natural history of these pathogens.  
-Our goal is to maximize the value of museum collections for pathogen-based research using targeted sequence capture. To this end, we have generated a probe panel that includes 39,916, 80bp RNA probes targeting 32 pathogen groups, 
-including bacteria, helminths, fungi, kinetoplastids, and protozoans. Lab generated, mock control samples show that we are capable of enriching targeted loci from pathogen DNA 2882-6746 fold. Further, we were able to identify 
-bacterial species in museum-archived samples, including Bartonella, a known human zoonoses. These results show that probe-based enrichment of pathogens is a highly customizable and efficient method for identifying pathogens from 
-museum-archived tissues.
