Disease extent



Extent of infectious diseases

README for extent of infectious diseases (disarea.*)

Variables in the data set: disease extent by country for: yellow fever (1952 and 1996); plague (1952); leprosy (1952); visceral leishmaniasis (1954 and 1984); helminthiasis (1952); dengue fever (1951 and 1975 to 1995); schistosomiasis (1987); and lymphatic filiriases (1984).

Stata do file is a program (disarea.do) written in Stata to load the data in disarea.csv and create the variable labels etc. in disarea.dta. It can be used as a model to load the data into other statistical packages besides Stata.

Stata data file is the Stata data set with the infectious disease data by country (disarea.dta).

ASCII file is a comma separated value file (disarea.csv) of the infectious disease data that can be opened as a spreadsheet in Excel, or used in conjunction with the Stata do file (disarea.do).

These data sets were created as part of The Center for International Development’s ongoing research into the role of geography in economic development (see cid.harvard.edu/economic.htm). They have been created between 1998 and 1999. Please reference CID if you use this data in a publication.
