| OCA16. Annotation of the output in English | This study reports the detection and genetic characterization of Tribeč virus (TRBV), a tick-borne orbivirus of zoonotic relevance. The virus was identified in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from a goat using a newly developed RT-PCR assay. Goats grazing in the study area showed seroconversion, with low titre neutralization antibody response. The new isolate, designated 16.C/2016/Dubrava/SVK, was successfully cultured in Vero E6 cells and detected by immunofluorescence. Replication efficiency varied across rodent, human, and bovine cell lines. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that most genome segments shared high sequence identity with other TRBV strains and with Muko virus (MUKV) strains from Japan. In contrast, phylogenetic analysis based on the VP4 outer capsid protein indicated that the TRBV clade is more closely related to Kemerovo viruses from Russia. Segment 10 showed the highest variability, where strains from Slovakia and Romania formed sister clades with MUKV, and the Ukrainian strains with KEMV. Indication of a reassortment was observed in segment 4, encoding the NS1 tubule-forming protein, which appears to originate from the prototype TRBV isolated in Slovakia during the 1960s. Collectively, these findings highlight the genetic variability of TRBV and support the need for further studies on the ecology, evolution, and diversity of tick-borne orbiviruses. |

| OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice | Research into the Tribeč virus (TRBV) brings a newly developed RT-PCR test into social -economic practice a newly developed RT-PCR test ready for routine monitoring in laboratories, whilst also highlighting the zoonotic risk, as the virus’s ability to replicate in human cells and its transmission by the common tick mean it must be considered in cases of unexplained illness following a tick bite. For agriculture and veterinary practice, the results have a direct impact on the management of livestock rearing and grazing (goats and cattle), whilst the genetic variability and reassortment of the virus that have been identified are key to early prevention and the avoidance of the emergence of more pathogenic strains. |

| OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational process | Research into the Tribeč virus enriches education in the fields of medicine, veterinary science and biology by providing a real-world example of the One Health concept, whilst updating the curriculum to include lesser-known arboviruses. The newly developed RT-PCR protocol, the Vero E6 cell culture methodology and immunofluorescence serve as direct guides for laboratory exercises, whilst data from whole-genome sequencing provide practical material for teaching bioinformatics and phylogenetic analyses of viral reassortment. The knowledge gained also generates attractive topics for final-year university theses and forms the basis for the continuing professional development of doctors and vets in the field of differential diagnosis of tick-borne diseases. |
