Summary
Every year approximately 55,000 people die from rabies [1]. Over 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries where rabies virus (RABV; negative-sense RNA virus, family Rhabdoviridae) is endemic in the domestic dog [2]. The role of human activities in mediating the spread of dog RABV is unclear, nor is it known how landscape characteristics, including human infrastructures such as roads, affect RABV dispersal within dog populations Such information is critical to revealing the determinants of RABV transmission and for its control in the domestic dog. We first inferred the evolutionary history of 287 RABV sequences (3080 nt; encompassing the whole N, P and intergenic G-L region) sampled from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and the Spanish territories from North Africa (Ceuta and Melilla) between 1986 and 2008. All these viruses are assigned to the Africa 1 genotype
