Ferrets have a long history as animal model subjects. In 1933, influenza-induced rhinitis was first observed in ferrets. Because this model mimics the shedding of viruses from respiratory tissue in a fashion similar to humans, their importance as an animal model was immediately apparent. This project represents the female domestic ferret.

雪貂作为动物模型受试对象拥有悠久的研究历史。1933年，科研人员首次在雪貂体内观测到流感诱导性鼻炎。由于该模型模拟呼吸组织中病毒脱落的过程与人类高度相似，其作为动物模型的重要性即刻得到认可。本数据集的受试对象为雌性家雪貂。
