8,270 Acute Watery Diarrhea cases, including 5,210 suspected cholera cases, were treated by Action Against Hunger during the first wave of Yemen's 2016-17 outbreak. The data documents a response from October 28, 2016 to February 28, 2017, including case management and community prevention measures. It was collected by Mathias Altmann to analyze the performance of a Cholera Treatment Center and 11 Oral Rehydration Therapy Corners.
A 2020 study by Carey T. Knight investigates barotrauma as a source of fishing mortality for Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) in Lake Erie. The research developed a predictive logistic model for barotrauma incidence, analyzing data from recreational and commercial fisheries across depths of 7.6 to 16.8 meters. The study estimated that barotrauma-induced discard mortality was approximately six-fold higher in the commercial fishery than the recreational fishery.
A 2012 cross-sectional survey of 3501 residents in Ngella, Central Islands Province, Solomon Islands, assessed Plasmodium infection prevalence. Data includes qPCR and light microscopy results for P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae, along with gametocyte detection and demographic variables. The study found a 13.4% overall Plasmodium prevalence, primarily driven by P. vivax.
27% of chimpanzee deaths in the Kanyawara community over 30 years were attributed to respiratory illness, making it the leading cause of mortality. This dataset contains over 22 years of health observations on individual susceptibility and transmission patterns, with respiratory signs peaking conspicuously in March. The data was collected by Melissa Emery Thompson to investigate factors influencing disease in wild chimpanzees.
78 months of time-series data from January 2011 to June 2017 combine Baidu search trends with officially reported AIDS occurrences and deaths. The dataset supports a machine learning method, artificial neural networks, used to forecast AIDS dynamics. It was created by Yongqing Nan and published in 2020.
Serum samples from 2,174 Ugandan individuals were investigated for HCMV antibodies, with data linked to demographic information, co-infections, and cardiovascular disease measurements. The dataset provides insights into HCMV epidemiology, showing 83% seropositivity by age one and 95% by age five. It was created by Lisa Stockdale and published in 2020.
Ten studies contributed data on 3,851 laying hen flocks to analyze mortality variation. The meta-analysis models cumulative mortality by age, breed, and housing system, with most data from 2,823 free-range flocks. It identifies relationships between mortality, beak trimming status, and environmental impacts like greenhouse gas emissions.
Data from a prospective cohort study in South Lima and Callao, Peru, tracks tuberculosis transmission within households from 2010 to 2013. The study includes 1,055 household contacts of 213 multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) index cases and 2,362 contacts of 487 drug-susceptible index cases. It measures the incidence of tuberculosis disease among contacts, with follow-up times of 1,425 and 2,620 person-years for the respective groups.
This dataset supports a multi-scale analysis of drivers for European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) outbreaks over a 23-year period in the Bavarian Forest National Park. It investigates factors across seven orders of magnitude in scale, from 10³ to 10¹⁰ m², to understand regional and landscape influences on infestation risk.
Published tree-ring datasets from Abies alba, Nothofagus dombeyi, and Quercus petraea support the development of logistic mixed-effects mortality models. The data was used to assess methodological decisions in sampling strategy, explanatory growth variables, and time window length. Model performance was reasonably high for all three species, with AUC > 0.7.
Pre-vaccine era data analyzes reporting probabilities for measles and whooping cough across cities and states in the United States and cities in England and Wales. The study examines variability linked to demographic covariates like ethnic composition and school attendance. It provides a detailed analysis of observational case report time series for these childhood diseases.
Korean Multi-center Cancer Cohort data from 1993 to 2005 tracks 14,570 adult participants with a median follow-up of 11.9 years for colorectal cancer incidence. The dataset contains information on fasting serum glucose levels, self-reported diabetes history, and hazard ratios for cancer risk. It was analyzed by Hyeree Park to investigate associations between glucose control and colorectal cancer.
1980 to 2010 longitudinal data from 66 low-income countries, with 1,497 country-year observations. The dataset examines interrelationships among economic characteristics, ecological footprints, CO2 emissions, infant mortality, and under-5 mortality rates. It was compiled by Ying-Chih Chuang from sources including World Development Indicators and the Global Footprint Network.
Aggregating genetic and disease data for little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus) bats to analyze the spread of white-nose syndrome (WNS). It was created by Aryn P. Wilder and published in 2020. The data supports logistic regression models evaluating WNS risk based on genetic distance and geographic proximity among hibernating colonies in eastern North America.
This dataset supports research on size-selective mortality in Pacific salmon, using a scale circulus spacing index (SCSI) as a proxy for body size. It was created by Terry D. Beacham and published in 2020. The data is used to test hypotheses about critical size limits and mortality during the first marine winter.
Sensitivity analysis data from a spatiotemporal stochastic model simulating the spread of sharka disease in a real landscape. The study, authored by Loup Rimbaud, identifies key epidemiological parameters like the mean latent period duration and orchard connectivity. It was published in 2020.
2020 research by Erik M. Volz applies non-parametric autoregressive models to estimate pathogen effective population size growth rates from sequence data. The study demonstrates the method on real data from rabies virus and Staphylococcus aureus epidemics, finding a correlation between MRSA lineage growth rates and beta-lactam antibiotic prescription rates. The models are implemented in the open-source R package skygrowth.
Data from seven 18th- and 19th-century Finnish populations examines early-life disease exposure, adult mortality, and reproductive success. The study quantifies exposure as the detrended child mortality rate from infectious diseases during an individual's first five years. It tests associations with later-life all-cause mortality, cause-specific death from cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer, and reproductive performance metrics.
Data from the study 'Infectious disease transmission and behavioral allometry in wild mammals' by Barbara A. Han, published in 2020. It contains comparative data on wild primate, carnivore, and ungulate species to model how host body size and behaviors like social group living and habitat use intensity scale with parasite transmission risk. The dataset includes derived metrics such as Defensibility Index and Parasite Species Richness to test model predictions.
A qualitative study analyzes the interplay of normative principles and moral values among immunization stakeholders in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The research involved in-depth interviews, focus group discussions with mothers of children under five, and observations of vaccination activities across 16 Primary Health Centres. It examines the moral obligations of parents, the beneficence of healthcare providers, and the utilitarian goals of the state.
