Description

The dataset contains information on the endoparasite infection status of 903 individuals of four small mammal species (Microcebus murinus, M. ravelobensis, Eliurus myoxinus, Rattus rattus) in relation to host-specific (sex, body condition, population density) and habitat-specific factors (degree of habitat fragmentation, fragment size, distance to the edge of the fragment, percentage of edge habitat, vegetation structure).
