Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	Considering the close contact of companion animals and humans, gastrointestinal parasitic zoonoses are widely widespread and represent a high risk of transmission with potential severe consequences affecting digestive tract both in animals and humans. In the present study we focused on enteric zoonoses caused by Toxocara canis nematode, Dipylidium caninum tapeworm and Giardia duodenalis protozoa. Our primary aim was to observe Toxocara canis egg excretion within the 27 consecutive days before and after orally treatment (2 Caniverm tablets) on Day 13 in a naturally infected puppy. An average egg per gram (EPG) of T. canis detected by coprological quantitative McMaster method was 4558.33 and 666.66, before and after treatment, respectively. Percentage faecal egg count reduction (%FECR) in in vivo Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT) has confirmed 85.37% efficacy against T. canis. Secondly, the efficacy of Caniverm against tapeworm Dipylidium caninum was also determined. No D. caninum proglottides were detected on Day 14. The data showed 100% effectiveness of anthelmintic treatment. Metrobactin 250 mg has been tested as experimental therapy against Giardia duodenalis on Day 3. On Day 10, no cysts were observed in the faeces after per os ¼ tablet administration twice a day for 7 days.

OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	The companion animals are common reservoir of various illnessess with zoonotic potential, which is from the point of view of health protection very alarming. The subject of this study, a puppy, carried three parasitic zoonoses (toxocarosis, dipylidiosis, giardiasis). We specifically investigated the dynamics of Toxocara canis egg excretion and efficacy of Caniverm against Toxocara canis and Dipylidium caninum. Experimental treatment using Metrobactin against Giardia duodenalis was also conducted. The purpose of our study was to verify that the chosen antiparasitic therapy may not be effective in many cases, especially if animal owners use the same drugs repeatedly without previous parasitological assessment. We wanted to highlight the need of precise parasitological examination not only for general diagnostics, but also to exclude parasite presence after treatment. As advice, closer communication of veterinary doctors and owners is needed, to explain what are the risks and disadvantages of unproper diagnostics and treatment, mainly if severe zoonosis are involved.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice	ompanion animals, as common reservoirs of various diseases with zoonotic potential, pose a significant risk to public health, which has serious implications for the protection of both human and animal health. The findings of the study suggest that antiparasitic therapy may not be sufficiently effective in some cases if pet owners repeatedly use the same medications without prior parasitological examination. This is alarming because improper or inadequate treatment can lead to the continued spread of parasites and the risk of transmission to humans. The results also highlight the need for regular parasitological examinations not only for diagnostic purposes but also to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and exclude the presence of parasites after treatment. In practice, it is essential for veterinarians to collaborate with pet owners and inform them about the risks of incorrect diagnosis and treatment, especially in cases where severe zoonoses are present. This approach can improve the prevention of zoonotic diseases and the protection of public health. At the same time, educating pet owners on proper care procedures for their pets is necessary to minimize the risk of parasite and disease transmission between animals and humans.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational process	The results of this study and related activities have a significant impact on the educational process in the field of veterinary medicine and parasitology. They provide valuable material for expanding knowledge about zoonotic diseases and parasitic infections that can be transmitted between animals and humans. The findings offer practical information on the effectiveness of various antiparasitic therapies, which is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of these diseases in clinical practice. The data obtained can be used as a foundation for educational materials, lectures, and seminars that cover not only theoretical knowledge about zoonoses but also practical aspects of diagnosing and treating parasitic diseases. The study also highlights the importance of accurate parasitological examination and communication between veterinarians and pet owners, which is crucial for preventing misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
