Figure Legends
Fig. 1: Map showing locations were samples were collected in
Nigeria and where animal were imported from Republic of Niger.
Fig. 2: Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of African ORFV
B2L genes including global reference sequences. Blue lines represent
study sequences, and other Nigerian isolates, red lines represent South
African sequences, green lines represent Egyptian isolates. Light blue
box represents the Asian lineage, light green box represents isolates
within the African lineage.
Fig. 3a. Bayesian MCC tree showing African isolates, countries
are represented by the color code the figure legend. Light blue box
represents isolates within the African lineage, light green box
represents isolates within the Asian lineage. 3b . Population
demography of African ORFV B2L genes represented by a Bayesian skyride
plot showing effective viral population on the y axis and sampling time
on the x-axis.
