Insight into molecular phylogeny and haplotype diversity of the dog louse fly (Hippobosca longipennis) in India.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundHippobosca longipennis (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) is an obligate haematophagous fly of domestic and wild vertebrate hosts across the arid and semi-arid regions of Asia, Africa, Southern Europe, and the Middle East. Being a potential vector for many pathogens and a tormenting ectoparasite, the present study was envisaged to perform molecular characterization, phylogeny, and population structure analysis of H. longipennis infesting dogs in Haryana, India. METHODOLOGY: The molecular characterization and phylogeny of the flies collected from the infested dogs (n = 8) were performed by targeting the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene. A global analyses of genetic differentiation, haplotype, and population structure were carried out on the present study isolates with GenBank-catalogued sequences of H. longipennis.
resultsPhylogenetic analysis revealed that the present study sequences of H. longipennis clustered within a monophyletic clade together with sequences from Morocco, Egypt, and Kenya. However, two sequences (OL505727 and MK405667) from Portugal and Romania, respectively, assorted with the out-group species sequence of Hippobosca equina. High haplotype (0.561 ± 0.154) and low nucleotide diversities (0.0019 ± 0.0009) were recorded for the complete dataset, whereas present study isolates exhibited low haplotype (0.250 ± 0.180) and nucleotide diversities (0.0003 ± 0.0002). Non-significant negative values were recorded for the neutrality indices Tajima’s D, Fu and Li’s D and Fu and Li’s F for the overall dataset (-1.428, -1.713, and − 1.859, respectively) as well as for the present study isolates (-1.054, -1.126, and − 1.203, respectively).
conclusionThe present study addresses an existing research gap and provides novel insights into the population genetic structure of H. longipennis, based on the mitochondrial cox1 gene analysis. These genetic data can contribute to epidemiological and vector management studies on dog louse flies.
