H5N1 Virus Titers and Baloxavir Pharmacokinetics in Ducks

Hokkaido, Japan, is the source of the virus strain used in this experimental dataset. It contains virus titers from oral and cloacal swabs, plasma concentrations of baloxavir acid, and pharmacokinetic parameters for ducks infected with H5N1 influenza and treated with varying doses of baloxavir marboxil. The dataset was authored by Yo Shimazu and last updated on 2026-04-15.

Use Cases

• Modeling drug pharmacokinetics based on plasma concentration data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the relationship between drug dose and virus titer reduction in swab samples
• Comparing viral shedding dynamics between oral and cloacal routes described in the dataset

Strengths

• Data includes three distinct drug dosage levels (7.3, 4.3, and 0.5 mg/kg) for comparison.
• Dataset is available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 13.3 KB, indicating a limited experimental scope.
