First molecular detection of Babesia caballi in camel associated ticks in Uzbekistan, with no evidence of Anaplasma or Rickettsia.
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
Dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) have an important role in food and textile production in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, yet data on their tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) is scarce, especially in Central Asia. This study aimed to: (i) identify the ticks infesting camels from different regions of Uzbekistan, (ii) molecularly detect TBPs in the collected ticks for the first time. In 2024, 290 camels from three regions (Karakalpakstan, Jizzakh, and Navoi) were examined for tick infestation. Ticks were collected, morphologically identified, pooled, and screened using PCR and sequencing for Babesia., Theileria., Anaplasma., and Rickettsia. Overall, 32.6% of camels harbored ticks, with 993 specimens collected, belonging to the genera Hyalomma, Dermacentor, and Rhipicephalus, comprising at least six species. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of Babesia caballi DNA in two tick pools, marking the first report of this equine pathogen in Hyalomma ticks from camels in Uzbekistan. No evidence of other piroplasm, Anaplasma or Rickettsia. was detected. This study presents an expansion of the known geographic and host range of B. caballi and suggests considering camels in TBP surveillance. Further studies combining molecular and serological approaches in multiple host species are needed to elucidate the epidemiological significance of these findings in Central Asia.
