Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc. | The screening of specific antibodies in the serum of birds can help to detect arbovirus activity in the sites surveyed. In Slovakia, no systematic surveillance of arbovirus infections in autochthonous wild bird populations has been carried out so far.This study includes birds captured during spring migration and birds of the autochthonous breeding population of the Drienov wetland (Slovakia). Serum samples were tested for the presence of neutralizing antibodies (NAb) against West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and Tribeč virus (TRBV). |

| OCA16. Annotation of the output in English | Searching for specific antibodies in bird serum could reveal arbovirus activity in certain localities. To date, no systematic surveillance for arbovirus infection in autochthonous population of wild birds has been conducted in Slovakia. Present study includes birds captured on spring migration and birds of the autochthonous nesting population of the Drienovská wetland (Slovakia). Serum samples were tested for West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and Tribeč virus (TRBV) neutralizing antibodies (NAb). Blood samples were collected during 2017 spring migration (March – April) and from local breeders and hatched juveniles (May – July) caught by Constant Effort site ringing method. Specific NAb were detected by micro-titration virus neutralization test. WNV NAb were detected in 11.7% (18/153) of sampled birds. Ten WNV seropositive were migrants (Eurasian Robins, Eurasian Blackcap and a Great Tit), 5 were nesting adults (Song Thrush, White Throat, Eurasian Jay, Hawfinch and Eurasian Blackbird) and 3 were juveniles (Song Thrush, Common Starling and a Great Tit). There was not confirmed USUV infection in any of the examined birds. TBEV NAb were detected during breeding season in the adult Eurasian Blackcap, which means 1.1% (1/93) seropositivity. TRBV NAb was detected in 7.4% (5/68) of adult birds (Eurasian Blackbirds and a Common Starling) and in one juvenile Great Tit, which had also WNV Nab as well. These results suggest active transmission of at least two arboviruses in the autochthonous avifauna in Slovakia. |

| OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice | We performed the first ever targeted serological monitoring of the prevalence of antibodies to selected arboviruses in an autochthonous Slovak breeding population of songbirds at the Drienovská wetland. Thanks to the results from bird ringing, we know that this is a regionally important hotspot of avian biodiversity, where the native bird population comes into contact with migratory populations from all over Europe and the Russian Federation, including the territories east of the Urals. In a study aimed at detecting antibodies to WNV, USUV and TBEV in birds, the majority of WNV-seropositive individuals (n=18) belonged to a group of short-distance migratory species that do not cross the Sahara and the equator on their way to their wintering grounds. This fact shows that the positive birds must have been exposed within the European geographical area. We also detected the prevalence of anti-TRBV antibodies in the sera of breeding birds and their chicks in the Drien wetland. Based on this finding, it is possible to consider the importance of avian reservoirs in the circulation of tick-borne flaviviruses and orbiviruses in the Central European area. |
