Measures of annual EIR and prevalence within the same site

Data from Hay et al. (2005) of measures of the prevalence and annual Entomological Innoculation Rate (APfEIR) of P. falciparum in Africa between 1984 and 2004 . Data were read from Supplement S2. APfEIR was defined as falciparum infected bites per adult per night indoors, using human biting rates that were averaged over one year and standardized to human bait catch equivalents on adults.
