Data Download [33KB] | Metadata | AK Science Portal | Project Site | Date Range: 09/2018 - 04/2019


This dataset is three tables with details of samples and aliquots of waterfowl feces deposited in filtered surface water collected from an urban waterbody in Anchorage, Alaska in 2018-2019. Sample vials were submerged underwater in the same waterbody from which the samples were collected and the samples were tested for the presence and viability of influenza A virus. Temperature data and water chemistry measurements were also collected over time.
