Malaria Incidence and Climatic Variables in Amazon and Atlantic Forest Biomes, 2000–2005

Results of a multilevel model analysis of malaria incidence from 2000 to 2005 against climatic variables for the Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes. The dataset is a 5.5 KB Excel file authored by Tatiane C. M. Sousa and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Model malaria incidence based on climatic variables mentioned in the description
• Compare disease-climate relationships between the Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes
• Validate or extend multilevel modeling techniques for ecological epidemiology

Strengths

• Analysis covers a 6-year period (2000–2005)
• Focus on two distinct and ecologically significant biomes

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
