A geopositioned, evidence-graded, pan-species compendium of Mayaro Virus occurrence

Mayaro Virus (MAYV) is an emerging health threat in the Americas that can cause febrile illness as well as debilitating arthralgia or arthritis. To better understand the geographic distribution of MAYV risk, we developed a georeferenced database of MAYV occurrence based on peer-reviewed literature and unpublished reports. Here we present this compendium, which includes both point and polygon locations linked to occurrence data documented from its discovery in 1954 until 2022. In the associated data descriptor manuscript (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02302-z), we describe all methods used to develop the database including data collection, georeferencing, management, and quality-control. We also describe a customized grading system used to assess the quality of each study included in our review. The result is a comprehensive, evidence-graded database of confirmed MAYV occurrence in humans, non-human animals, and arthropods to-date, containing 262 geo-positioned occurrences in tota..., , Georeferenced Database of Mayaro virus occurrence
A database containing georeferenced locations of Mayaro virus occurrence in humans, non-human animals, and arthropods.
File name: Georefs_MAYV_compendium.csv
Quality Scores and References
A table containing quality scores and references for each article included in our systematic review of human MAYV occurrence. Quality scores are based on a customized grading system of four quality items: clarity of research question/objective; description of study methods; description of sampling methods; and validity of diagnostic tests.
