Eco-evolutionary dynamics of a shifting porcine parvoviruses (PPV1-PPV8) ecosystem reveal dichotomous selection pressures.

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
Porcine parvoviruses (PPVs) constitute a complex viral ecosystem. However, the genetic structure and evolutionary dynamics of currently circulating PPV populations remain poorly characterized. A large-scale genomic survey in China (1,055 genomes; 863 samples; 2021-2024) reveal a profound ecosystem shift, with PPVs detected in 212/863 samples (24.57%) Novel species (PPV7, 16.45%; PPV6, 9.62%; and PPV2, 8.82%) now dominate the niche previously occupied by classical PPV1 (3.13%). This new landscape is defined by pervasive multi-species co-infection (129/212, 60.85%), including 61 cases with ≥ 3 species and 7 pigs co-infected with ≥ 5 species, characterized by non-random associations, where even low-prevalence species such as PPV1 and PPV5 exhibit a high propensity for co-infection (permutation test: PPV1 p < 0.001; PPV5 p = 0.002). This high-transmission environment provides ample opportunities for frequent intra-species recombination, which powerfully accelerates variation within the primary antigenic region (ORF2). This study uncovered dichotomous evolutionary dynamics driven by contrasting immune pressure. The dominant naturally circulating species were constrained by strong purifying selection. In stark contrast, vaccine-targeted PPV1 followed a distinct path driven by strong positive selection of key surface epitopes (e.g., VP2 site 435), suggesting an adaptation to evade vaccine-induced immunity. Collectively, our work deconstructs how natural selection and vaccine filtering impose distinct selective regimes on the viral population, establishing a new framework for evolutionarily aware surveillance and rational design of next-generation vaccines.
