Prevalence and Associated Factors of Gastrointestinal Helminths Infection in Domestic Ruminants in and Around Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia.
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
backgroundGastrointestinal helminth (GIH) infections are major health problems that cause economic losses in Ethiopia; however, information on their prevalence and associated factors in domestic ruminants is limited in and around Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia.
objectivesTo estimate the prevalence, identify GIH based on egg morphology and assess its associated factors in domestic ruminants.
methodsCross-sectional study was conducted from December 2024 to June 2025. A total of 384 domestic ruminants were sampled using simple random sampling techniques. Faecal samples were collected from each animal and examined using coprological examination techniques.
resultsThe overall prevalence was 56.5%. Strongyle-type nematodes (most common 37.3%), Strongyloides, Trichuris, Fasciola, Paramphistomum, Moniezia spp. and Nematodirus (least common 1.4%) were identified. Multivariable logistic regression showed significant associations between GIH infection and species, sex, age, study area sites, and management system (P < 0.05). Sheep had 16 times higher odds of infection than goats, and cattle also had increased odds (AOR = 9.74). Females were more likely to be infected than males (AOR = 25.65), and young animals had twice the odds of adults (AOR = 2.01). Extensive and semi-intensive systems had higher infection risks (AOR = 7.31 and 3.21) than intensive systems. Animals in peri-urban kebeles also had a higher infection risk (AOR = 2.46) than those in urban kebeles.
conclusionsGastrointestinal helminth infections are highly prevalent in the study area, with host and management factors influencing their occurrence. Therefore, the control measures should focus on the potential associated factors, including management system, age, and species of animals.
