<p>Bats captured in four areas: Peridomicile—A1, Initial Secondary Forest —A2, Late Second

Bats captured in four areas at the Fiocruz Atlantic Forest Biological Station in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and examined for trypanosomatid infections. The dataset is authored by Alice Pereira Berbigier and was last updated on 2026-05-18. It is available as a 9.5 KB XLS file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare trypanosomatid infection prevalence based on habitat type (Peridomicile, Initial Secondary Forest, Late Secondary Forest, Mature Forest).
• Model host-pathogen relationships in bats based on capture location.
• Analyze ecological gradients in disease risk based on forest maturity stages.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly tied to four distinct habitat types, enabling comparative analysis.
• Dataset has a clear geographic origin: Fiocruz Atlantic Forest Biological Station, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
• 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 (9.5 KB), indicating a limited scope.
