Data for modeling phylogeographic dynamics of Sindbis virus in Africahttps://doi.org/10.60507/FK2/VUMWZINabatanzi, Maureenbonndata2026-07-082026-07-08T13:03:20ZThis dataset comprises Sindbis virus (SINV) sequences, their locations of sample collection and ecological variables used to conduct continuous phylogeographic and phylodynamic analysis of SINV dispersal in Africa. There are 23 complete and near-complete SINV genomes sampled across Africa between 1952 and 2022. Ecological variables comprise 26 potential predictors with suspected associations with viral discovery and dispersal. Sequences and location data were used to generate time-calibrated phylogenies, its spatiotemporal dispersal history and dispersal dynamics. We assessed the impact of the predictors on viral dispersal position, direction, and velocity.Agricultural SciencesEarth and Environmental SciencesMedicine, Health and Life SciencesEnglishNabatanzi, Maureen, 2026, "Ecological niche and presence maps for Wesselsbron, Sindbis and Middelburg viruses and their vectors in Africa", https://doi.org/10.60507/FK2/FWVXDH, bonndata, V1, doi, https://doi.org/10.60507/FK2/FWVXDH2026-07-08Nabatanzi, Maureen2026-03-061952-08-012022-01-012025-08-012025-12-01Genome sequencesGPS CoordinatesRaster dataa) CRU-TS 4.09 (Harris et al., 2020) downscaled with WorldClim 2.1 (Fick and Hijmans, 2017).
