Hawaii Island, modelled density of malaria-resistant and -susceptible Iiwi following release of malaria-resistant birds under three climate change projections, 2030-2100 This data set provides the simulated results of releasing malaria-resistant Iiwi into existing populations of wild birds on the Island of Hawaii. Resistant birds are released into mid- and high-elevation forests at different densities at 10-year intervals from 2030 to 2070. Populations of both malaria-resistant and susceptible Iiwi are then predicted at 10-year intervals from release until 2100. Predictions are made based on 3 different climate change projections: A1B, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5. The goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of creating a successful population of Iiwi when faced with higher malaria infection predicted as a result of climate change. The model results presented here build upon two... Categories: Data; Tags: CRISPR, Ecology, Hawaiian forest birds, Iiwi, Island of Hawaii, All tags...

If their antigen binding capability is not affected, then the samples can be used in serological assays to provide an independent assessment of the accuracy of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) diagnostic tests for avian malaria. This data release consists of three tabular datasets of raw absorbance measurements that were collected with a BioRad Model 3550 ELISA (Enzyme linked Immunosorbant Assay) plate reader at a wavelength setting of 405 nm from serial dilutions of whole blood that were preserved with...
