Current knowledge about neosporosis in Colombia.
Review in Veterinary research communications, 2026. 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
This review includes most of the scientific articles regarding neosporosis in Colombia. Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite that causes neuromuscular disorders in dogs and bovine abortions. Dogs, coyotes, wolves, and Australian dingoes are definitive host for N. caninum; however, only dogs are present in nature in South America. Colombia has a diverse topography and a significant livestock sector where neosporosis presents a potential threat to animal health and productivity. In dogs, seroprevalence studies suggest exposure to the parasite, but definitive diagnoses of clinical neosporosis remain lacking. Cattle show varying levels of seropositivity, with some studies reporting rates as high as 89%, particularly in herds with reproductive issues. Research on small ruminants is limited but indicates natural infections in sheep, while data on goats are absent. A single study in water buffaloes showed a high seroprevalence (73.3%). Equine infections have been reported, albeit at low levels. Molecular techniques like loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay on samples from bovine abortions and canine feces and quantitative PCR and sequencing on bovine blood from naturally infected dairy cattle have been successfully developed. The high seroprevalence in ruminants, coupled with the lack of standardized control programs, suggests a potentially underestimated economic impact. It is essential to conduct more research, improve diagnostic approaches, and establish national regulations, seeking to mitigate the significant economic impact that the disease has on the country’s livestock industry.
