Elektrický ohradník jako nástroj ochrany lesa před škodami divokým prasetem (Sus scrofa)
Hvižď, Filip
The study was dedicated to investigating the use of an electric fence as a possibility to regulate the spatial activity of wild boar and the related protection against damage caused by this species. The research was carried out in the Moravský Krumlov nature reserve, where an electric fence was built and its effectiveness in controlling the movement of wild boars was monitored. Cameras were installed to collect data. Out of the total number of 663 contacts of wild boars with cameras at the time when the electric fence was triggered 75 of them were recorded inside the fenced area, which is less than 12 %. After analysing the obtained records, the reaction of the wild boars to the fence was evaluated. During a more detailed analysis of the obtained data, it was found that the most common reaction of an affected adult boars is to run away from the fence (more than 60 % of cases), on the other hand, breaking through the fence was minimal. Furthermore, the variability of the reaction to the fence was determined in time, when the boars did not perceive the fence at first, but with the passage of time boars began to maintain a distance.

Trypanosomes from the T. theileri group in ungulates in the Czech Republic
Brotánková, Anna ; Brzoňová, Jana (advisor) ; Juránková, Jana (referee)
The Trypanosoma theileri group are blood parasites of ungulates. Confirmed vectors of these protists are horseflies or sheep keds for T. melophagium, but these trypanosomes were also detected in deer keds, mosquitoes and phlebotomus. We targeted on the investigation of possibility mosquitoes acting as vectors and additionally we targeted on the prevalence of T. theileri in mosquitoes at selected locations in the Czech Republic due to previous positive detection there. The measured prevalence has reached 6,4 % in mosquitoes, 4 % in deer keds and 16,7 % in sheep keds. The aim of experimental infections was to discover a potential of mosquitoes and phlebotomus acting as vectors of the T. theileri. Phlebotomus perniciosus and three species of mosquitoes Culex pipiens molestus, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and Aedes vexans were used for those experiments. Furthermore, isolates of T. theileri and T. melophagium from different sources were used. The divergence among these isolates and among used species of insect was found. The best results were achieved with Ae. aegypti and isolates from mosquitoes, where prevalence had reached 90,8 %. The infected mosquitoes were used for prediuresis research which had shown infection forms of the trypanosomes in the urine liquid. The phylogenetic analyse of T....
