Global Burden of Arthropod-Borne Diseases: DALYs and Trends from 1990 to 2021

Global data on the burden of arthropod-borne diseases, measured in Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) for the years 1990 and 2021. The dataset includes Average Annual Percentage Changes (AAPCs) for the period from 1990 to 2021. It was authored by Mengqing Li and last updated on May 5, 2026.

Use Cases

• Calculate changes in disease burden based on DALY values for 1990 and 2021.
• Model trends in arthropod-borne diseases based on Average Annual Percentage Changes (AAPCs).
• Compare the relative impact of different vector-borne diseases based on the provided DALY metrics.

Strengths

• Provides a 31-year time series from 1990 to 2021.
• Includes two key public health metrics: DALYs and AAPCs.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
