Vector surveillance of avian Plasmodium and West Nile virus in Culex mosquitoes from Doñana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Article in Parasites & vectors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMosquito-borne pathogens produce relevant diseases causing human fatalities worldwide. In addition, mosquitoes transmit a variety of pathogens to livestock and wildlife, negatively affecting local economies and causing ecological impacts.
methodsMosquitoes collected in a highly protected wetland from southern Spain were molecularly screened for the presence of three major pathogens, including the zoonotic flavivirus West Nile virus (WNV), avian Plasmodium, and filarioid nematodes.
resultsOverall, 95 mosquito pools including 1376 females corresponding to 4 Culex species were molecularly analyzed, including 40 mosquito pools containing 390 Culex pipiens, 42 mosquito pools containing 880 Culex perexiguus, 10 mosquito pools containing 102 Culex modestus, and 3 mosquito pools containing 4 Culex laticinctus. WNV was detected in 5 Cx. perexiguus pools. Avian Plasmodium was found in 28 mosquito pools tested, including 17 pools of Cx. perexiguus and 11 pools of Cx. pipiens. Three different Plasmodium spp. lineages were found in mosquitoes, corresponding to the morphospecies: P. vaughani (SYAT05; n = 22), P. matutinum (LINN1; n = 4), and the Plasmodium sp. (SGS2; n = 1). One positive sample was not identified at the lineage level. Plasmodium prevalence was significantly associated with mosquito species and sampling session and marginally related with mosquito pool size. None of the pools tested were positive for the presence of Dirofilaria spp.
conclusionsThese results represent the most taxon extensive survey of pathogens in mosquitoes in Doñana. This study expands the knowledge of the diversity of pathogens naturally circulating in this protected wetland in southern Spain. Recommendations for the population are considered.
