Morphological and Molecular Study on Trematodes of Storks (Ciconia ciconia and C. nigra) from Turkey.
Article in Acta parasitologica, 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
purposeThis study aims to investigate the trematode species of white (Ciconia ciconia) and black storks (Ciconia nigra) in Turkey by morphological and molecular methods. This study aims to present new molecular characterizations of species, previously described only morphologically, and to enhance knowledge of the parasitic fauna of storks, which have an important place among migratory birds.
methodsA total of nine stork cadavers (eight white and one black) were parasitologically examined. The trematodes obtained were washed in physiological saline, preserved in 70% ethanol, and then followed by morphological analyses. DNA extraction was performed from selected individuals, and phylogenetic analyses used partial 28S rDNA and cox1 gene regions. Species identification was supported by both morphometric and molecular data.
resultsA total of four trematode species were identified using morphological and molecular methods, namely Cathaemasia longivitellata (Plagiorchiidae), Chaunocephalus ferox (Echinostomatidae), Georduboisia syriaca (Cyathocotylidae), and Stomylotrema pictum (Stomylotrematidae). Partial cox1 gene region (for Ch. ferox and G. syriaca), and partial 28S rDNA gene region (for Ca. longivitellata, G. syriaca, and S. pictum) were successfully sequenced. This study provides the first molecular data for G. syriaca and S. pictum and the first cox1 gene data for Ch. ferox and.
conclusionThe findings extend the existing knowledge on the trematode fauna of storks and reveal the importance of using morphological methods in combination with molecular approaches. This study provides preliminary information for future ecological and epidemiological studies on bird trematodes.
