Systematic review and meta-analysis compiles prevalence data and modeling code for Dirofilaria parasites in Spain and Portugal, facilitating reproducible vector-borne disease tracking.
This repository contains the data and R code underlying the systematic review and meta-analysis of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens prevalence in Spain and Portugal. The deposited materials comprise: (1) the final outcome-level dataset containing 99 extracted records from 59 included studies; (2) the quantitative meta-analysis dataset containing 56 records from 38 unique studies; (3) the item-level risk-of-bias appraisal of the 59 included studies using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data; and (4) R code for reproducing the primary binomial-logit generalized linear mixed models and the principal sensitivity analyses reported in the manuscript. The systematic review was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261380582). No individual-level or personally identifiable data are included.
