Genotyping and Age-Related Distribution of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Preweaned Calves in Türkiye.
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
purposeEnterocytozoon bieneusi is recognized as the most common microsporidian parasite, exhibiting a broad host spectrum that includes a wide range of animal species, as well as humans. However, no comprehensive data are available on the prevalence, age-related distribution, or genotype diversity of E. bieneusi in preweaned calves in Türkiye. Therefore, this study aimed to provide comprehensive data and expand current knowledge on E. bieneusi in preweaned calves from different age groups.
methodsWe screened a total of 240 fecal samples collected from preweaned calves using nested PCR to determine the occurrence and age-related distribution of E. bieneusi. Genotyping of the detected isolates and evaluation of their zoonotic potential were subsequently performed based on ITS sequence analysis.
resultsEnterocytozoon bieneusi was identified in 38 out of 240 fecal specimens, corresponding to an overall prevalence of 15.8%. Sequence analyses revealed the presence of two known genotypes, BEB8 and J. While genotype J was identified as the predominant genotype circulating among calves in the study area, genotype BEB8 was detected for the first time in a mammalian host in Türkiye. Phylogenetic analysis further revealed that both genotypes clustered within Group 2, which includes ruminant-adapted genotypes.
conclusionThis is the first comprehensive report on the occurrence, age-related distribution, and genotyping of E. bieneusi in preweaned calves in Türkiye, highlighting the potential role of calves as reservoirs or carriers of this pathogen.
