Dataset with bird plumage brightness scores and blood parasite prevalence values for 113 Central European passerine host species. One file contains the data table. One file contains a table with descriptions of the columns in the data table. Note: These data were reconstructed from files used in Read & Harvey 1989 (https://doi.org/10.1038/339618a0) with column headings inferred with the help of Read 1991 (https://doi.org/10.1086/285225)
