OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.The present work deals with the post mortem diagnosis of onchocerciasis and molecular diagnosis of the causative agents of this disease in wild ruminants (Cervus elaphus, Dama dama and Capreolus capreolus). The animals were caught during 2017 and 2018 in two regions of eastern Slovakia. A total of 58 skins were examined. The presence of subcutaneous nodules was confirmed in 27.59% (95% CI 16-39) of the animals. All positive skins were from red deer (47.06%; 95% CI 30-64). Using a standard PCR method focusing on mitochondrial 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA and NADH dehydrogenase gene and subsequent sequencing, all worms were identified as Onchocerca flexuosa.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThe present paper deals with the post-mortem diagnostics of onchocerciasis and the molecular detection of causative agents of this disease in wild ruminant ungulates (Cervus elaphus, Dama dama and Capreolus capreolus). The animals were shot in hunting seasons 2017 and 2018, in two regions of the Eastern Slovakia. The total number of examined skins was fifty-eight. The presence of subcutaneous nodules was confirmed in 27.59% (95% CI 16–39) of animals. All positive skins belonged to red deer individuals (47.06%; 95% CI 30–64).Applying the standard PCR method, targeting the mitochondrial 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA and NADH-dehydrogenase gene, and subsequent sequencing, all the worms were identified as Onchocerca flexuosa.
OCA17. List of maximum 5 most significant citations corresponding to the outputCAMBRA-PELLEJA, Maria - GANDASEGUI, Javier - BALANA-FOUCE, Rafael - MUNOZ, Jose - MARTINEZ-VALLADARES, Maria. Zoonotic Implications of Onchocerca Species on Human Health. In PATHOGENS, 2020, vol. 9, no. 9, pp. [WoS]
OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe output is important not only from the point of view of veterinary medicine focused on game animals, but also for the general public engaged in hunting. Onchocercosis can have a serious impact on the health and quality of life of game animals. The work also emphasizes the importance of the initial control of the individuals after capture.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe paper is a starting point for the continuation of research in the field and in postgraduate studies at the workplace. The findings from the study are implemented in subjects related to the issue.
