Environmental Predictors for the 2022 Burundi Rift Valley Fever Outbreak

A 5.5 KB Excel file lists environmental variables used as predictors in multivariable analyses to identify risk factors for the Burundi Rift Valley Fever (RVF) outbreak from May to November 2022. The dataset was authored by Canésius Nkundwanayo and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0. It was last updated on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify environmental risk factors for RVF outbreaks based on the listed predictor variables.
• Replicate or validate multivariable analyses of the 2022 Burundi outbreak based on the described methodology.
• Build predictive models for RVF risk in similar regions using the described environmental variable framework.

Strengths

• Provides a specific list of variables used in a formal multivariable analysis for a documented outbreak.
• Covers a defined outbreak period from May to November 2022 in Burundi.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 5.5 KB file size suggests a very limited scope, likely containing only a variable list rather than observational data.
