Serological data for Newcastle disease collected from backyard poultry in northern Nigeria. The dataset covers 502 villages across Plateau, Bauchi, and Kano States, compiled during the LIDISKI project. It was authored by Marion Bordier and is hosted by CIRAD.
Use Cases
- Estimate Newcastle disease seroprevalence based on survey data from 502 villages.
- Model disease spread risk based on geographic coverage across three Nigerian states.
- Assess backyard poultry health status based on serological test results.
- Support animal disease control policy based on empirical survey findings.
Strengths
- Data covers a substantial geographic scope across 502 villages.
- Focuses on a specific disease (Newcastle disease) and host (backyard poultry).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the three surveyed states.
