Field data for: Enterovirus sequence data obtained from primate samples in Central Africa suggest a high prevalence of enteroviruses with possible zoonotic potential
<p>Enteroviruses infect humans and animals, can cause disease, and some may be transmitted across species barriers. We collected different types of samples from various species of Central African wildlife, including data on sampling location and tested the samples for the presence of Enterovirus RNA using a family level PCR. Specimen collection was approved by an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the University of California Davis, and the Governments of Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Enterovirus RNA was detected in samples from 17 primates and 2 rodents. Some sequences were very similar while others were dissimilar to known species, highlighting the unexplored enterovirus diversity in wildlife.</p> <p>The samples and filed data were collected by field ecologists as part of the USAID funded PREDICT project (https://ohi.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/programs-projects/predict-project) and screened for enterovirus RNA using consensus PCR. Maps were generated using basic maps from Paintmaps (http://www.paintmaps.com), a free tool for educational and academic use. The dataset contains the metadata on enterovirus screening among wildlife in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 2003-2014 as part of the USAID funded PREDICT project.

FIGURE 9 in A new Stomatorhinus (Osteoglossomorpha: Mormyridae) from the Ivindo River, Gabon, West Central Africa
FIGURE 9. Waveforms and power spectra of EODs from Stomatorhinus walkeri (A – D), S. ater (E, F) and S. patrizii (G, H) on the same time scale as those shown in Fig. 5. EOD waveforms are centered about the largest headnegative peak, normalized to the same peaktopeak height and plotted with head positivity upward for each trace. Power spectra are normalized so that the peak energy is adjusted to 0 dB. Individual specimen numbers are indicated beneath waveforms; F = female, M = male.
FIGURE 8 in A new Stomatorhinus (Osteoglossomorpha: Mormyridae) from the Ivindo River, Gabon, West Central Africa
FIGURE 8. Scores from types of S. ivindoensis n. sp. and five other Stomatorhinus species on the second and third factors of a principal components analysis of the covariance matrix calculated from 24 logtransformed morphometric measures. Twelve nontype specimens of S. walkeri and one nontype of S. polli included. Variables loading most heavily on the second principal component are caudal peduncle depth, interorbital distance and internostril distance. Variables loading most heavily on the third principal component are eye diameter, postorbital head length and caudal
FIGURE 5 in A new Stomatorhinus (Osteoglossomorpha: Mormyridae) from the Ivindo River, Gabon, West Central Africa
FIGURE 5. EOD waveforms (left) and power spectra (right) for Stomatorhinus ivindoensis n. sp. The holotype of S. ivindoensis, a male, is shown in A and B. Peaks are numbered in order from P 0 to P 3. EOD waveforms are centered about the largest headnegative peak and plotted with head positivity upward. Power spectra are normalized so that the peak energy is adjusted to 0 dB. EODs of reproductive males (E, F) are longer in duration and have a lower peak power frequency than those of females (C, D). Individual specimen numbers are indicated beneath waveforms; F = female, M = male, H = holotype. Time base = 0.1 millisecond.
