First Report of Human Bocavirus Genotypes 1-3 in Argentine Wastewater and Insights into Community Circulation.
Article in Food and environmental virology, 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
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) represents a valuable tool for assessing viral circulation at the community level. Human bocavirus (HBoV), a member of the Parvoviridae family with four genotypes (HBoV1-4), has been detected in respiratory and enteric samples, although its environmental epidemiology remains poorly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the presence and diversity of HBoV in wastewater samples from Córdoba, Argentina, during 2020-2021. A total of 84 raw sewage samples collected at the city's wastewater treatment plant were analyzed by nested PCR and sequencing of the VP1/VP2 and NP1 regions. HBoV DNA was detected in 44% of samples, with higher circulation in 2020 (69.7%) compared to 2021 (27.4%), and a seasonal trend peaking in winter and spring. Phylogenetic analyses revealed 15 sequences clustering with HBoV2 and 11 with HBoV3, while three HBoV1-positive samples were confirmed by NP1 sequencing. To our knowledge, this is the first report of HBoV detection in environmental samples from Argentina, documenting the co-circulation of three genotypes (HBoV1-3) in a single urban setting. These findings underscore the usefulness of WBE for monitoring bocavirus diversity and circulation in the community.
