Table 1_Equine sentinels and one health: a comprehensive serological survey of Crimean-Con

Jignesh Italiya's dataset presents serological survey results for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHF) in equids across Bulgaria, Romania, and the Czech Republic. It includes ELISA test results from 579 horse and donkey samples from Bulgaria, 1,534 from Romania, and 576 from the Czech Republic, showing a southeast-to-northwest gradient in seroprevalence. The data was uploaded to figshare on 2026-04-24.

Use Cases

• Modeling disease spread gradients based on seroprevalence rates across three countries.
• Assessing climate change impacts on vector-borne disease risk based on regional environmental correlations mentioned in the description.
• Evaluating equine sentinel programs for One Health surveillance based on antibody detection data.
• Mapping potential CCHF risk zones based on the northward spread of Hyalomma tick vectors indicated by the findings.

Strengths

• Sample sizes are explicitly stated: Bulgaria (n=579), Romania (n=1,534), Czech Republic (n=576).
• Seroprevalence percentages are provided: 14.5% (Bulgaria), 1.5% (Romania), and 0% (Czech Republic).
• The dataset has a clear geographic scope covering Southeastern and Central Europe.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is 56.7 KB, indicating a very limited scope.
