Risk Indicators for Aedes Infestation in Morelos, Mexico, 2016

2016 data from a published study on house condition as a risk indicator for Aedes mosquito infestation in two Mexican localities. The dataset contains disaggregated data from the research by Monroy-Díaz et al., published in The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in 2023. It is a 2.0 MB Excel file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license by author JOSE RAMOS-CASTAÑEDA.

Use Cases

• Modeling household-level infestation risk based on structural condition scores mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing environmental determinants of Aedes presence for targeted vector control.
• Validating or extending the house condition scoring scale methodology from the referenced study.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in a reputable journal.
• Shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• File size of 2.0 MB suggests a manageable, focused dataset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from 2016; temporal relevance for current risk modeling may be limited.
