Expanding the molecular understanding of Theileria infections in cattle and yaks from Gansu and Qinghai, China.
Article in Parasitology research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Piroplasmosis is a major tick-borne disease that causes significant economic losses in livestock production across various regions. The present study aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the prevalence of bovine piroplasmosis in Gansu and Qinghai provinces, China, offering crucial baseline data for the development of effective control and prevention strategies. A total of 736 bovine blood samples were collected from Tianshui, Pingliang, and Lanzhou in Gansu, and Xining and Haidong in Qinghai. These samples were analyzed using PCR with universal Piroplasma primers targeting the 18S rRNA gene. The overall prevalence of bovine Piroplasma infection was found to be 25.54% (188/736). Three Theileria species were identified, including T. orientalis (14.27%, 105/736), T. annulata (10.73%, 79/736), and T. sinensis (0.54%, 4/736). No cases of Babesia or mixed infections were detected in this study. Notably, T. sinensis was reported for the first time in Pingliang, highlighting its potential expansion in the region. In conclusion, bovine piroplasmosis remains prevalent in both Gansu and Qinghai provinces, with T. orientalis being the predominant species. These findings underscore the need for strengthened surveillance and improved strategies for the prevention and control of piroplasmosis in the region.
