Cross-country data on the prevalence of 9 infectious diseases

The prevalence of  nine  diseases  (leishmanias,  schistosomes,  trypanosomes,  leprosy,  malaria, typhus,  filariae,  dengue,  and  tuberculosis) is compiled for 230 geo-political regions (countries, territories, protectorates, culturally different regions within a nation) by Murray and Schaller (2010).

Used by Gorodnichenko and Roland (2016) as an instrument for collectivist culture.
