2023–2024 data from 3,670 antigen-positive dogs in Spain and Portugal, analyzed by Rodrigo Morchón. The dataset likely contains variables used to assess the association of Realized Transmission Risk (RTR) with geographic, climatic, and host-related factors. Findings suggest transmission is shaped by geographic region, climate type, and housing conditions.
Use Cases
- Modeling disease risk based on geographic region and climatic classifications.
- Analyzing the impact of host-related variables, such as indoor/outdoor housing, on infection risk.
- Comparing transmission risk coefficients between insular territories (Balearic and Canary Islands) and the mainland.
- Tracking temporal changes in RTR, including the noted increase in 2024.
- Developing One Health surveillance strategies for semi-arid and emerging inland areas.
Strengths
- Includes 3,670 antigen-positive canine cases from a defined 2023–2024 period.
- Integrates an Ecological Niche Model (ENM) for Culex pipiens with parasite development thresholds.
- Analyzes associations with multiple variable types: geographic, climatic, and host-related.
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 10.7 KB, indicating a very limited scope, likely containing summary or model results rather than raw case data.
