Microdata on vector abundance and IRS quality assurance (Estimating the impact of indoor residual spraying on sandfly abundance and incidence of visceral leishmaniasis in India from 2016 to 2022: an interrupted time-series analysis and modelling study)

This repository contains the microdata on vector abundance and quality assurance of indoor residual spraying (IRS) that was used to estimate the impact of IRS on sandfly abundance and incidence of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in India, as described in the paper "Estimating the impact of indoor residual spraying on sandfly abundance and incidence of visceral leishmaniasis in India from 2016 to 2022: an interrupted time-series analysis and modelling study" by Coffeng et al (https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(24)00420-1). These data were collected as part of a BMGF-funded project led by dr. Michael Coleman at the Liverpool School for Tropical Medicine, as described in an earlier paper by Deb et al (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0009101).

This repository does not include microdata on VL cases as these are owned by India's National Center for Vector Borne Disease Control (NCVBDC, https://ncvbdc.mohfw.gov.in/).
