Molecular detection of Cryptosporidium parvum in raptors (Accipitridae and Falconidae) from western Iran.
Article 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
Cryptosporidium is a genus of protozoan parasites that infects humans and a wide range of animals. Considering the zoonotic transmission of cryptosporidiosis and the role of raptors in its spread, this study aimed to identify Cryptosporidium parvum in wild raptors using molecular methods. Fecal samples were collected from 15 raptors at wildlife recovery centers in Kermanshah (western Iran) between February 2022 and August 2024. The birds belonged to four species representing two different families: Accipitridae, including the Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo), and Falconidae, including the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), the Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni), and the Lanner Falcon (Falco biarmicus). Oocysts of Cryptosporidium were identified in two fresh intestinal contents (mucosal scrapings). Upon DNA extraction, the expected 18 S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene fragment was amplified and sequenced. Cryptosporidium parvum was identified in two bird species, the Common Kestrel (F. tinnunculus) and the Lanner Falcon (F. biarmicus) (2/15 birds, 13.33%). To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. parvum in raptors in Iran. The detection of C. parvum in two raptors indicates its presence in these hosts, but further epidemiological and subtype analyses are needed to clarify any potential role in transmission.
