Fungal diversity isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of psittacines kept as pets: a potential public health risk?
Article in Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology], 2025. 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
Birds play an important role in the maintenance of fungi, since they are considered reservoirs and their excreta serve as a substrate for certain zoonotic fungal pathogens. Considering the importance of knowing the microbiota of wild and exotic birds and the scarcity of epidemiological data in the Amazon region, the aim of this study was to evaluate the fungal diversity of the gastrointestinal tract of psittacines kept as pets in the municipality of Rio Branco, Acre, Western Amazonia, Brazil. Between August 2020 and December 2021, 20 psittacines underwent clinical evaluation and samples were taken from the oral and cloacal cavities by swabbing. The biological material was sent for fungal cultivation and the isolates were analyzed according to their morphological and biochemical characteristics. The gastrointestinal tract samples from 13 birds resulted in 64 isolates distributed among 15 fungal genera. According to the data obtained, there is a high diversity of fungal microorganisms of zoonotic interest in the gastrointestinal tract of psittaciformes. The keeping of wild and exotic birds as pets is a potential threat to our health and the risk factors need to be better understood.
