Insight into the genetic diversity of Hyalomma scupense, Ixodes persulcatus, Haemaphysalis punctata and Argas persicus in Kazakhstan.
Article in Experimental & applied acarology, 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
Hyalomma scupense, Ixodes persulcatus, Haemaphysalis punctata and Argas persicus have a broad distribution range across the Palearctic. However, their phylogenetic relationships are rarely reported. In this study, a total of 19,861 nymphs and adult ticks were collected from 41 sampling sites in 22 districts/cities across eight oblasts in the eastern, southern and western parts of Kazakhstan. Thirteen tick species, originated from 608 representative ticks, were identified. Regarding to Hy. scupense, I. persulcatus, Ha. punctata and A. persicus ticks from all sampling sites, 100 representative ticks were further phylogenetically analyzed based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The results showed that (i) Hy. scupense is the most widespread and abundant tick species in Kazakhstan, having ten haplotypes, of which one from East Kazakhstan was the progenitor of that from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR, northwestern China); (ii) I. persulcatus ticks from Almaty Oblast (eastern Kazakhstan), clustered with those from Burqin County (XUAR), were the progenitors of those from Japan; (iii) Ha. punctata specimens analyzed here had three distinct lineages, and the lineage in Almaty Oblast was originated from ticks reported in Visegrad (Hungary); and (iv) A. persicus ticks in Turkistan Oblast were the progenitors of ticks in Algeria and Egypt. These phylogenetic relationships indicate larger scale genetic exchange between populations of tick species that frequently associate with migratory birds (as exemplified by I. persulcatus and Ha. punctata) or are inadvertently transported with poultry during animal trading (i.e., A. persicus).
