Analysis of the phylogenetic signal associated with 3 covariates in study combining phylogeographic analyses and epidemiologic contact tracing to characterize the atypically pathogenic avian influenza (H3N1) epidemic, Belgium, 2019. We assessed the phylogenetic signal associated with 3 covariates: A) Spatiotemporal SaTScan clusters (https://www.SaTScan.org); B) transport contact networks; C) social contact networks. Tree tip nodes are colored on the basis of the cluster or network to which they belong. For each covariate, we also report the estimated Blomberg K statistic and associated 95% highest posterior density interval (in parentheses) and BF support. BF, Bayes factor; ≫, much greater than.
