Review of poultry parasites in Bangladesh: prevalence, distribution, and health impacts.
Review in Tropical animal health and production, 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
Poultry production plays a vital role in ensuring food and nutritional security in Bangladesh by supplying affordable sources of animal protein, namely, meat and eggs, and generating income for millions. Due to their wide availability, low cost, and absence of religious restrictions, poultry products have become a major source of animal protein in the country. This narrative review examines the profiles of ectoparasites, endoparasites, and haemoparasites commonly found in Bangladeshi poultry, all of which contribute to reduced growth performance and productivity. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed studies from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect was conducted to gather data on the prevalence, distribution, and health impact of these parasites. Gastrointestinal parasites, including nematodes, cestodes, trematodes, and coccidian protozoa, are widely reported in poultry populations. Several ectoparasites have also been identified, including lice; three mite species (Dermanyssus gallinae, Knemidocoptes mutans, and Trombicula spp.); one flea species (Echinophaga gallinacea); and two fly species (Simulium spp. and Pseudolynchia canariensis). In addition, three haemoparasites, Plasmodium spp., Haemoproteus spp., and Leucocytozoon spp., have been observed in various poultry species across the country. The prevalence and distribution of these parasites vary by poultry type and geographic region, which are exacerbated by factors such as poor sanitation, inadequate deworming practices, limited public awareness, favorable climatic conditions, and the presence of intermediate and susceptible hosts. By addressing these challenges, Bangladesh can significantly reduce the burden of poultry parasites, improve overall veterinary and public health outcomes, and ensure sustainable development.
