Phlebotomine Sand Fly Pools Positive for Bartonella DNA

A dataset of phlebotomine sand fly pools positive for Bartonella DNA, categorized by study site, trap type, and molecular marker. It was authored by Victor O. Zorrilla and last updated on May 13, 2026. The data is stored in an XLS file with a size of 5.5 KB.

Use Cases

• Analyze the association between trap types and Bartonella detection rates based on the trap type field.
• Compare Bartonella prevalence across different geographic locations based on the study site field.
• Evaluate the sensitivity of different molecular markers for Bartonella detection based on the molecular marker field.
• Investigate the distribution of Bartonella-positive sand fly pools across ecological or study parameters.

Strengths

• Data is structured by key epidemiological variables: study site, trap type, and molecular marker.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
