Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc. | The most common cases of co-infection in free-roaming cats involve viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens, including yeasts and parasites. Our study aimed to assess the risk factors of Chlamydia spp., FIV and FeLV infections and co- infections in cats in the selected area in the district of Košice, Slovakia. |

| OCA16. Annotation of the output in English | Free-roaming cats represent a potential reservoir of infectious diseases. The most common co-infections of free-roaming cats include mixed viral, bacterial, fungal, yeast and parasitic infections. This study focuses on the occurrence of Chlamydia spp. feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) and their co-infections. The diseases accompanied by immune suppression, such as FIV, create favourable conditions for the onset of other diseases and co-infections. The result of co-infection may be a higher susceptibility for other pathogens, as well as the occurrence of more severe clinical symptoms. The study involved 168 (113♀ and 55♂) free-roaming adult cats during the years 2021–2022. All cats belonged to Slovak citizens with permanent residence in the Slovak Republic. Blood samples and swabs (Invasive EUROTUBO® Collection sterile swab, Deltalab O8191 Rubí, Spain) from the conjunctival sac were taken from 168 cats to be later tested by PCR and ELISA methods. Statistical analysis was also performed. The overall prevalence of Chlamydia spp. was 17.26%, of FIV 15.48%, and 5.95% of FeLV. The most significant finding in our study was 3.57% co-infection of FIV and Chlamydia spp. in tested cats. The observed prevalence of Chlamydia spp. FIV and FeLV indicates that the presence of these pathogens in populations of free-roaming cats is endemic. |

| OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice | The prevalence of FIV, FeLV and Chlamydia spp. resulting from our research indicates that the occurrence of these pathogens in the populations of free-roaming cats is endemic. The results of our tests suggest that the number of animals with a diagnosed infectious disease is higher in locations with higher population density of cats. Our study found more than one pathogen to be correlated with more severe disease symptomatology. |
