Analysis of tick-borne pathogens using next-generation sequencing in ticks from wild animals in the Republic of Korea.
Article in Journal of veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
importanceClimate and anthropogenic changes have resulted in the growth of tick populations and tick-borne pathogens worldwide. Standardized surveillance systems are essential for novel tick-borne pathogens in the Republic of Korea (ROK). Analysis of blood-fed ticks suggests that zoonotic pathogens have the potential to circulate between ticks and wild animals in natural environments.
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze blood-fed ticks from wild animals in the ROK and detect novel tick-borne pathogens in the ROK to develop effective surveillance systems and preventive strategies.
methodsNext-generation sequencing (NGS) identified 217 ticks with eight pooled samples collected from five wild mammals and 22 birds in five wildlife rescue centers and three bird banding stations in the ROK from February 2022 to May 2023.
resultsAfter NGS, clean reads of 17,017,249-32,372,003 viruses, 116,996-289,716 bacteria, and 164,462-352,826 protozoa were obtained in each region. Several pathogens, including those in families such as CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study suggests that tick-borne zoonotic pathogens can circulate in ticks and animals and have potential transmission effects in humans. Hence, wild animals, including mammals and birds, may serve as reservoirs of zoonotic infection carriers.
