Investigation of the Seroprevalence of Lentivirus ovivismae and Lentivirus capartenc (Formerly Known as Maedi-Visna and Caprine Arthritis-Encephalitis Virus) Infections in Sheep and Goats in the Yozgat Region.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 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
backgroundLentivirus ovivismae and Lentivirus capartenc (formerly maedi-visna and caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus) are highly contagious, chronic viral infections that cause significant economic losses in small ruminant farming. This study aimed to determine the current seroprevalence of these infections in the Yozgat region, where sheep and goat farming is widespread and clinical signs are frequently observed. MATERIALS AND
methodsBlood samples were collected from 160 sheep and 160 goats in districts with high small ruminant populations, including Sorgun, Sarıkaya, Saraykent, Boğazlıyan, Şefaatli and Akdağmadeni. The samples were analysed using Lentivirus ovivismae and Lentivirus capartenc enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests to detect the presence of antibodies.
resultsOut of the 320 animals sampled, 10 sheep (6.25%) tested positive for Lentivirus ovivismae and 28 goats (17.5%) tested positive for Lentivirus capartenc. These results demonstrate a notable level of viral circulation within the livestock population of the Yozgat Province.
conclusionThe findings indicate that both infections are prevalent in the region, posing a threat to productivity. This study serves as a baseline for informing local veterinarians and farmers about preventive measures. Based on these data, further comprehensive studies and control strategies are planned for the region.
