Description:
Abstract:
This data set contains three spreadsheets with results of Influenza A Virus (IAV) screening in blood from Pacific, Red-throated, and Yellow-billed Loons at three locations in Alaska. Loons were captured along the Beaufort Sea Coast, Chukchi Sea Coast, and Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta from 2008-2017. Three different tests were used and the results are presented in separate spreadsheets. All serum samples were screened for IAV antibodies using a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (bELISA). A subsample were screened using agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID), and hemagglutination inhibition assays (HI).
Purpose:
These data provided the basis to: 1) determine seroprevalence of Influenza A Viruses (IAV) in nesting Pacific, Red-throated, and Yellow-billed Loons, and 2) identify potential sources of exposure based on subtype-specific IAV antibodies detected in loons.

Samples were collected at the following three areas in Alaska: 1) on the Chipp and Colville River Deltas along the Beaufort Sea Coast, 2) on the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and near Point Lay along the Chukchi Sea Coast, and 3) near the mouth of the Manokinak River on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
