Chromatographic peak data and rabies antibody data were collected from raccoon and skunk subjects that were subjected to rabies vaccination and/or challenge with rabies virus. Feces were collected from captive animals held in USDA facilities in Fort Collins, CO USA during the period 10 July 2014 to 28 September 2015. Fecal samples were subjected to chemical analyses during the period of 12 August 2015 to 11 February 2016. This data publication includes all chromatograms (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry data files as .cdf files) and a summary of chromatographic peak responses and measured serum antibody responses.
The study, arising from opportunistic sampling of feces from two well-replicated vaccination and challenge studies, was designed to uncover volatile signatures associated with oral immunization using a live recombinant rabies vaccine and lethal RABV infection in two key North American reservoir hosts for this pathogen.
