Measures of annual EIR and prevalence (Beier et al.,1999)

Data from Beier et al.(1999) consisting of measures of the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum detected by microscopy in children under five years old and annual Entomological Innoculation Rate (EIR) for the same year, from 31 sites in Africa. Data were read from Figure 1 in the original article using WebPlotDigitizer [https://github.com/ankitrohatgi/WebPlotDigitizer].
