Known and novel parvoviruses identified in domestic pigeons.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundParvoviridae is a family of single-stranded linear DNA viruses whose members infect both vertebrate and invertebrate species of animals, causing diseases of various systems and often associated with pathology of the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, parvoviruses are known to induce illnesses causing diarrhea in various avian species as well; however, data on their occurrence and pathology in pigeons is scarce.
resultsIn this study, we developed molecular biology methods to detect and quantify parvovirus genetic material in samples acquired from racing pigeons of different health status. Our intention was to determine a connection between the presence of the virus and the occurrence of clinical signs in sampled birds. The results of quantitative analysis indicate no direct association of parvoviruses with the manifestation of enteric disease in pigeons. High-throughput sequencing was performed on samples testing positive in quantitative PCR with TaqMan probe and in digital droplet PCR. It allowed us to assemble two coding-complete pigeon parvovirus genomes, one belonging to new species and referred to as pigeon parvovirus 2, and the second which is a member of species Aveparvovirus columbid1. Additionally, we analyze two coding-complete genomic sequences acquired from pigeon feces in USA, one representing species Aveparvovirus columbid1 and one being a member of Chaphamaparvovirus genus in Hamaparvovirinae subfamily.
conclusionsThis is the first report of parvovirus in pigeons outside Asia. The findings of our research emphasize the need to further explore the poorly understood biology and pathology of pigeon parvoviruses.
