Data from 1,334 surveys conducted in Senegal between 1905 and 2014.
The data were assembled from three different data sources: historical archives
and libraries of ex-colonial institutes; online electronic databases
with data on malaria infection prevalence published since the 1980s;
national household sample surveys. In assembling the data for the analysis,
we only included locations that were classified as individual villages or
communities or a collection of communities within a definable area that does
not exceed 5 square km.
The variables are:
- Long: longitude of the sampled community.
- Lat: latitude of the sampled community.
- YY: year of the survey.
- LoAge: minimum age among the sampled individuals.
- UpAge: maximum age among the sampled individuals.
- Ex: total number of examined individuals.
- Pf: number of positively tested individuals for Plasmodium falciparum.
