2_LPAI_viral_shed_and_ferret_response_PLOS.xlsx \Data Microsoft Excel Open XML spreadsheet file containing the results from the accuracy of the ferrets' response during training and testing to familiar fecal samples containing live LPAIV. Also included is viral shed timeline.
3_Ferret_AI_10^4_testing_stats.xlsx \Data Microsoft Excel Open XML spreadsheet file containing the results from the accuracy of the ferrets' response during testing to novel fecal samples containing live LPAIV with a novel viral dose.
4_Ferret_AI_collection_day_test_stats.xlsx \Data Microsoft Excel Open XML spreadsheet file containing the results from the accuracy of the ferrets' response during testing to novel and familiar fecal samples in a panel that had four of the five samples collected all on the same collection day and one sample that was collected on a different day.
5a_Ferret_AI_CSU_sample_test_stats.xlsx \Data Microsoft Excel Open XML spreadsheet file containing the results from the accuracy of the ferrets' response during testing to novel fecal samples collected from a different cohort of ducks raised in a different environment and fed a different diet.
5b_Ferret_LPAI_specificity_test_stats.xlsx \Data Microsoft Excel Open XML spreadsheet file containing the results from the accuracy of the ferrets' response during testing to novel fecal samples including samples from ducks infected with alternate pathogens suggest to determine if the odor cue used by ferrets to detect avian influenza is specific to AIV infection and is not a general immune response resulting from infection.
