High burden and multi-parasite profile of gastrointestinal infections in cattle from Limpopo District, Southern Mozambique: Epidemiology, risk factors, and One Health implications.
Article in Veterinary world, 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
Background and Aim: Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites significantly affect cattle productivity and animal health, especially in tropical regions where environmental and management conditions favor parasite survival. In Mozambique, most previous studies have focused on goats or individual parasite species, leaving crucial gaps in understanding multi-parasite burdens in cattle. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, diversity, and risk factors associated with GI parasites in cattle from the Limpopo district of southern Mozambique, applying a One Health lens due to the zoonotic potential of some parasites that circulate in cattle. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2025 using 200 stool samples collected directly from cattle rectums. Samples were examined using Ritchie centrifugal sedimentation for helminths and protozoa and Ziehl-Neelsen staining for Results: Overall, 88.5% of cattle harbored at least one GI parasite. Eight parasite groups were detected: Eimeria spp. (49%), Strongyle-type eggs (46.5%), ciliates (29.5%), Conclusion: This first multi-parasite epidemiological assessment in Mozambican cattle reveals a high burden of GI parasites, influenced by grazing conditions and suboptimal deworming practices. Avoiding flooded grazing areas, adopting coccidiostats, and implementing anthelmintic rotation are crucial for effective parasite control. Given the zoonotic relevance of
