OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	Anaplasmosis is an emerging zoonotic disease. Given the non-specific clinical signs and/or often subclinical course of anaplasmosis in animals and humans, it is important to include this disease in the differential diagnosis of vector-borne encephalitis in both animals and humans. The results of the serological survey suggest that anaplasmosis may be common in horses. In the context of the One Health concept, the results can significantly contribute to improving knowledge of the epidemiological situation and serve as a basis for successful diagnosis and risk assessment in the Central European region.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis. It affects humans and several wild and domesticated mammals, including horses. The aim of our study was a preliminary survey of the occurrence of these re-emerging pathogens in horses in Slovakia. The sera from 200 animals of different ages and both sexes were tested for the presence of A. phagocytophilum antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Subsequently, detection of the 16S rRNA gene fragment of A. phagocytophilum was attempted by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in each blood sample. Our results confirmed the presence of specific antibodies in 85 out of 200 individuals (42.5%), but no significant changes were found between the animals of different ages and sexes. However, the PCR analysis did not detect any positive animals. Our data represent one of the highest values of seropositivity to A. phagocytophilum in horses in Central Europe. These results may contribute to a better understanding of the circulation of A. phagocytophilum in this region, thus indicating a potential risk to other susceptible species.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice	Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis. The disease affects humans and several wild and domestic mammals, including horses. The aim of my thesis was to conduct a survey of the prevalence of this re-emerging pathogen in horses in Slovakia. The results confirmed the presence of specific antibodies in 85 out of 200 individuals (42.5%). The findings may contribute to a better understanding of the circulation of A. phagocytophilum in the Central European region and also suggest a potential risk for other susceptible species.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational process	Students in the 1st and combined 1st and 2nd levels of higher education at the UVMP in Košice were also involved in the preparatory work and collection of samples of the investigated biological material. The impacts and results of the work will be reflected in the teaching of subjects with an epizootiological content.
