Human Intestinal Parasite Prevalence Across Madagascar Regions

Comprising de-identified individual-level participant data for replicating analyses on intestinal parasite infection prevalence in Madagascar. It includes variables such as age, sex, region, and parasite counts.

Use Cases

• Analyze the correlation between participant age and intestinal parasite counts across different regions.
• Compare the prevalence of parasite infection between sex groups using individual-level data.
• Map the distribution of parasite counts by region to identify geographic hotspots of infection.

Strengths

• Data is cleaned and de-identified for individual-level analysis.
• Supports replication of prevalence calculations for multiple intestinal parasites.
• Covers multiple diverse environmental regions within Madagascar.

Limitations

• The specific number of participant records (rows) is unknown.
• The complete list of columns and features is not provided.
• Data freshness is uncertain as the last update is a future date (2026-02-17).
