We commend the contribution of the study; however, the title of the article suggests that the described research was the first in Central Europe morphometric and molecular identification of the species U. stenocephala. We absolutely disagree with it.

In 2018, we published an article on the morphometric and molecular identification of the species U. stenocephala [1]. In the publication, we presented both the analysis of morphometric features of eggs and molecular studies. Similar research extended with morphometric evaluation of hookworm larvae was performed in Slovakia in 2022 by Štrkolcová et al. but after reviewing the European literature, it should not be concluded that authors made a morphometric and molecular analysis of U. stenocephala as the first in Central Europe.

Additionally, to correct the citation, we wanted to provide the correct data of our article in the reference list.
