A comprehensive pathological and molecular investigation of viral co-infections in ducks in Egypt.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Duck production in Egypt plays a significant role in the poultry sector. However, viral infections, such as avian influenza virus (AIV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), and duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), pose a significant threat to ducks, leading to substantial economic losses. Despite their impact, data on these duck pathogens in Egypt remain limited. Methods: In this study, 200 samples from various organs were collected from 20 commercial duck farms and pooled into 20 working samples. Samples of brain, liver, spleen, trachea, and lung were analyzed to detect DHAV, NDV, and H5 and H9 AIV using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); then, positive samples were subjected for sequencing. Samples from the same organs were also subjected for histopathological examination. Results: Interestingly, the RT-PCR detected DHAV, NDV, and H9-AIV, and mixed viral infections were confirmed in some farms. The phylogenetic analysis of DHAV 3D gene revealed that both DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 genotypes are circulating in Egyptian duckling with most tested samples containing DHAV-3 genotype, considered the vaccine used in Egypt contains DHAV-1 strain only. All detected NDV strains in this study are clustered in Genotype VII.1.1 with F0 cleavage site (RRQKR ↓ F) of velogenic NDV. On the other hand, our studied H9-AIV strains are aligned in H9.4.1.1 sub-lineage with other Egyptian field and vaccine seed strains. Local Egyptian vaccine seed strains were found closely related to our isolates than imported vaccines. H9.4.1 strains displayed HA0 protein cleavage site motif PARSSR Conclusion: Collectively, the study provided novel information about viral infections linked to neurological diseases of ducks in Egypt and concluded that local DHAV vaccine needs to be modified to contain both DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 strains.
