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 re-emerging zoonotic disease with a natural cycle. Due to the non-specific clinical signs and/or the frequently subclinical course of anaplasmosis in both animals and humans, it is important to include this disease in the differential diagnosis of vector-borne encephalitis for animals as well as humans. The results of this serological survey indicate that anaplasmosis can be common in horses. In view of the One Health concept, the results can significantly contribute to improving the knowledge of the epidemiological situation and serve as a basis for successful diagnosis and risk assessment in this region of Central Europe.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishAnaplasma 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 practiceAnaplasma phagocytophilum je pôvodcom granulocytárnej anaplazmózy ľudí a niektorých voľne žijúcich a domestikovaných cicavcov. Výsledky potvrdili prítomnosť špecifických protilátok u 85 z 200 koní, pričom medzi zvieratami rôzneho veku a pohlavia neboli zistené žiadne významné zmeny. Tieto výsledky môžu prispieť k lepšiemu pochopeniu cirkulácie A. phagocytophilum v našej oblasti, a k pochopeniu potenciálneho rizika pre iné vnímavé druhy./ Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis in humans and some wild and domesticated mammals.

These results may contribute to a better understanding of the circulation of A. phagocytophilum in our area, and to understanding the potential risk for other susceptible species.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe results obtained by studying the equine population are also new for students of veterinary medicine, they will help them to understand some mechanisms of the infectious process, which they will be able to use in practice in the prevention of infectious diseases.
