Water-borne parasitic diseases in Central Europe

| Annotation: | Water-borne zoonoses caused by parasitic worms (helminths) are diseases transmitted to humans by active penetration of infectious
stages or consumption of insufficiently cooked fish. Some of these water-related parasitic diseases may represent a potential medical
problem in Central Europe, including Slovakia and the Czech Republic, especially cercarial dermatitis caused by bird schistosomes,
and opisthorchosis or metagonimosis caused by small intestinal and liver flukes. The proposed project aims to screen the current
occurrence of causative agents of these zoonoses and to assess their potential risk to public health. The originality and
innovativeness of the project lies in its integrative research strategy based on a combination of traditional invasive parasitological
methods and modern non-invasive eDNA metabarcoding as a powerful tool for large-scale screening of human parasites. This project
represents a continuation of the previous fruitful cooperation between both teams, but at a higher qualitative level and with a shift from
veterinary to medical parasitology (biomedicine). |

| Annotation: | The aim of the project is to build a long-term base of applied research, through the concentration of research capacities of 7 research organizations in the field of biotechnology in veterinary medicine, animal production and related fields. The impact of the project is to ensure the sustainable production of quality and safe food of animal origin in terms of implementing policies to reduce antibiotic consumption, improve the welfare of farmed animals, maintain biodiversity in the landscape and the principles of circular economy. The results generated in the project in the form of new or innovative products or services should increase the competitiveness of the participating companies. During 6 years of the project min. 30 sub-projects is planned with expected min. 35 innovative outputs. |
One Health concept & water-borne parasitic diseases in Central Europe: next-generation monitoring
One Health koncept a ľudské parazitózy viazané na vodné prostredie v strednej Európe: monitorovanie pomocou sekvenovania novej generácie

RNDr. Oros Mikuláš DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The proposed project in the framework of the development of international science and innovation between the two Central European countries focuses on cooperation in the application of the One Health concept, i.e. focusing on the triad of humans, animals and the environment. The main objective is to address the neglected problem of the current occurrence of water-borne zoonoses and their potential risk to human health. The bird schistosomes causing cercarial dermatitis (swimmer’s itch), fish-borne trematodes responsible for metagonimosis and opisthorchosis, and the broad fish tapeworm causing diphyllobothriosis were selected for their importance and confirmed occurrence in Central Europe. The originality and innovativeness of the proposed project lies in its integrative research strategy based on a combination of traditional invasive parasitological methods and modern non-invasive eDNA metabarcoding as a powerful tool for large-scale screening of human parasites. The proposed project represents a continuation of the previous fruitful collaboration between both teams, but at a qualitatively higher level and with a shift from veterinary to medical parasitology. |
