Ecological niche and risk modeling of West Nile virus using environmental and biological thresholds.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Managing pathogen outbreaks remains a significant challenge. This study aimed to assess the ecological thresholds of West Nile virus (WNV) circulation by integrating long-term viral data with climate information. We analyzed WNV sequences retrieved from NCBI Virus and associated climatic variables, focusing on samples linked to mosquito vectors and avian hosts. Using Random Forest–based species-specific ecological niche models, we identified eight vector and bird species with high predictive performance (AUC > 0.7). These models were integrated into a spatial risk framework to highlight conditions most favorable for WNV transmission. Peak risk occurred at temperatures between 30 and 35 °C and precipitation levels of 0–100 mm, where both vectors and avian hosts overlapped. Our findings emphasize the ecological complexity of arbovirus systems and the importance of incorporating climate-sensitive and species-level insights into surveillance and control strategies, particularly under changing climate conditions.
