Algae Dataset

Every data hub, dataset, sensor, variable, paper and limitation in one tree — and for each: where it comes from, how far back it goes, how often it captures, why it belongs in a cholera study, and why it does not work everywhere.

Why it is used for cholera. Peer-reviewed, published in Appl. Environ. Microbiol.
Why not — catalogue limitation. IF YOU CAN OBTAIN THIS, IT TRANSFORMS THE PROJECT. It is the only dataset that would let you fit a chlorophyll → P(V. cholerae) function for Bangladesh the way Anas et al. 2021 did for Vembanad.

CRITICAL icddr,b environmental archive needs IRB approval access

The Huq et al. 2005 paired pond dataset - V. cholerae presence with chlorophyll and temperature, sampled fortnightly - is the highest-value validation source in the entire catalogue and it sits behind ethical approval.

What to do: Include it in the same data request as the outcome data. It costs nothing extra to ask.
