Molecular Prevalence and Phylogenetic Analysis of Theileria ovis and Theileria lestoquardi in Small Ruminants in Siirt Province, Türkiye.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 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
backgroundTheileriosis is a haemoparasitic disease of domestic and wild ruminants, caused by Theileria species, transmitted by Ixodid tick species, particularly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Theileria ovis and Theileria lestoquardi in sheep and goats in Siirt province using molecular methods and to analyse their evolutionary relationships with published sequences. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe animal material of the study consisted of 350 sheep and 350 goats in Siirt province and its districts. Blood samples were collected from the jugular veins of the animals and put into EDTA tubes. DNA extraction, PCR amplification and sequence analyses were performed on the collected samples.
resultsAccording to the analysis results, the prevalence of T. ovis was found to be 5.43% (19/350, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.50%-8.32%) in sheep, 4.57% (16/350, 95% CI = 2.83%-7.30%) in goats and 5% (35/700) in total. A higher prevalence was determined in females (5.20%) and in the 2-3 age group (5.52%). Among sheep breeds, the highest prevalence was detected in Hamdani sheep (8.26%), while in goats, it was detected in Aleppo goats (7.27%). Among locations, the highest prevalence was determined in the Tillo district (10.34%). As a result of the research, Theileria lestoquardi was not found in either sheep or goats.
conclusionThis research confirmed the presence of T. ovis in sheep and goats in Siirt province, but T. lestoquardi was not detected. In future studies, a more detailed investigation of the presence of vector ticks and the development of regional control strategies is recommended.
