Farm size and biosecurity measures associated with Strongylus vulgaris infection in horses

https://doi.org/10.5878/jcmx-cm10

The dataset contains raw data from a survey study aimed at investigating the incidence and risk factors associated with large bloodworm infection. The data also contains a file with the zip code of where the respondent lives and the GPS coordinates of the zip code. The postal code data has been separated from the other data and has been processed separately from the survey's raw data.

The target population consisted of owners or managers of Swedish equine premises. The questionnaire primarily comprised closed-ended questions with predetermined answer choices, with some questions linked by branching logic. Before distribution, a test version of the questionnaire was evaluated by individuals with professional equine backgrounds.
