Table of geographic location names, and associated coordinates

Lists geographic locations that can be input to findHost or findParasite and the corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates of the country's centroid. The georeferencing was performed dynamically using the Google Maps API, but they have since restricted access. The data on locations is now provided in this data file called locations – data(locations) – and is based on an earlier usage of ggmap. The geographic coordinates may not be accurate, and users should check for accuracy (and feel free to file an issue or PR on Github with corrections).
