Public health significance of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and its role in the eco-epidemiology of tick- and mosquito-borne diseases in North America.
Review in Parasites & vectors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are a ubiquitous species in North America. Their high reproductive potential leads to rapid population growth, and they exhibit a wide range of biological adaptations that influence their interactions with vectors and pathogens. This review aims to characterize the intricate interplay between white-tailed deer and the transmission cycles of various tick- and mosquito-borne pathogens across their range in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. The first part offers insights into the biological characteristics of white-tailed deer, their population dynamics, and the consequential impacts on both the environment and public health. This contextual backdrop sets the stage for the two subsequent sections, which delve into specific examples of pathogen transmission involving white-tailed deer categorized by tick and mosquito vectors into tick-borne and mosquito-borne diseases. This classification is essential, as ticks and mosquitoes serve as pivotal elements in the eco-epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, intricately linking hosts, the environment, and pathogens. Through elucidating these associations, this paper highlights the crucial role of white-tailed deer in the transmission dynamics of tick- and mosquito-borne diseases. Understanding the interactions between white-tailed deer, vectors, and pathogens is essential for effective disease management and public health interventions.
