Dengue Virus Type 2 Genomic Sequences and Analysis for Africa, 1964-2024

African DENV-2 diversity from 1964 to 2024 is analyzed in this dataset of 414 full-length genomes compiled by Muhammad Bashir Bello. The data includes results from phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses, highlighting repeated introductions and regional spread patterns. The dataset was last updated on 30 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing viral transmission pathways based on phylogeographic analyses mentioned in the description
• Analyzing evolutionary history and lineage diversification based on the compiled genomic sequences
• Identifying key non-synonymous mutations in prM, E, and NS1 genes based on the described SNP characterization
• Studying the role of regional hubs like Burkina Faso in viral spread based on the described transmission dynamics

Strengths

• Contains 414 full-length DENV-2 genomes, providing a substantial genetic sample.
• Covers a 60-year time range from 1964 to 2024, enabling longitudinal analysis.
• Includes results from multiple analytical methods (phylogenetics, phylogeography, SNP analysis) as described.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small at 43.6 KB, indicating limited scope or aggregated summary data.
