The association between SAα2,3Gal occurrence frequency and avian influenza viral load in mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and blue-winged teals (Spatula discors)

The dataset contains the data used to examine how avian influenza infection in mallards and blue-winged teal is associated with the abundance and distribution of different types of sialic acid, the primary influenza receptor in vertebrates. Histochemistry and PCR were used to examine sialic acid and viral titer, respectively.
