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 study reports on serosurvey on the tick-borne encephalitis virus European subtype (TBEV; genus Flavivirus), and the tick-borne Kemerovo (KEMV) and Tribeč (TRBV) orbivirus (genus Orbivirus) infections in tick-infested and non-infested birds. No virus RNA was detected in the blood clots. Birds were infested mostly by Ixodes ricinus, but Haemaphysalis concinna and I. frontalis were observed too. TBEV, KEMV and TRBV neutralising antibodies (NAb) were detected in the screening microtitration neutralisation test (μVNT). Seropositive samples were further examined in simultaneous μVNT to distinguish TBEV infection from WNV and USUV. KEMV and TRBV infections were also further examined by μVNT against each other. The demonstrated results point to increased TBEV and TRBV seroprevalence in birds over the past several years. This is the first study on KEMV infection in the Slovak bird population, and seropositive juvenile birds suggest its occurrence in a new geographic area. The results indicate the significance of tick infestation rates, seropositivity and specific NAb titre. The reservoir role of birds for TBEV, KEMV and TRBV remains unclear. However, targeted monitoring of birds and vectors is an effective measure of surveillance of arbovirus introduction into new geographic areas. |

| OCA16. Annotation of the output in English | The demonstrated results indicate increased TBEV and TRBV seroprevalence in birds over the past several years. This is the first study investigating KEMV infection in the Slovak bird population. The high KEMV seropositivity in juveniles may indicate that the infection occurs in the model locality Drienovská wetland. However, at this stage, it is impossible to distinguish post-infectious seroconversion from passively acquired maternal antibodies. Hence, further research should be aimed at this field. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of tick infestation rates in TRBV seroconversion. The relationship was demonstrated for both seropositivity and the NAb titre. In the case of TBEV, the infestation rate was associated with the amount of NAb. Although the role of birds as reservoirs of TBEV, KEMV and TRBV remains unclear, targeted monitoring of birds and vectors is an effective measure of the surveillance of zoonotic arbovirus introduction into new geographic areas. |
