Airway Organoid Panel for Influenza A Tropism in Ten Wildlife and Livestock Species

Ferran Tarrés-Freixas published a dataset on figshare in April 2026. It contains experimental results from a panel of airway organoids derived from ten taxonomically diverse wildlife and livestock species, used to evaluate susceptibility to influenza viruses. The dataset includes infection rates, cytopathogenicity, and analyses of receptor-binding mechanisms and viral dynamics.

Use Cases

• Predicting viral host tropism based on organoid infection rates and cytopathogenicity data.
• Analyzing receptor-binding mechanisms for influenza viruses in poorly characterized animal hosts.
• Modeling early viral adaptation dynamics using the multi-species organoid panel.
• Supporting zoonotic disease surveillance by aligning in vitro findings with known in vivo data and field observations.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a panel of organoids from ten distinct wildlife and livestock species, providing taxonomic diversity.
• Experimental results align with known in vivo data and field observations, suggesting biological relevance.
• Dataset includes analyses of infection rate, cytopathogenicity, receptor-binding, and viral dynamics.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect experimental bias inherent to the organoid model system.
