Region-Specific Parasite Prevalence Estimates with Uncertainty Intervals

Stephanie M. Wu provides a dataset of region-specific estimated parasite prevalences. Mean estimates are displayed with 95% uncertainty intervals in parentheses, and the data includes a category for other helminths. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-04 and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Mapping regional disease burden based on parasite prevalence estimates
• Comparing uncertainty intervals across different regions
• Analyzing the prevalence of 'other helminths' as a distinct category

Strengths

• Includes 95% uncertainty intervals for each estimate
• Explicitly defines 'Helminths' as a category for other helminths not separately listed

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 11.2 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
