Isolation of Chlamydophila psittaci from pet birds in Iran
Avian chlamydiosis is one of the most important infectious diseases of birds. Despite the rapid growth of exotic bird populations in Iran, there is little or no information on the specific infections that these types of birds carry. In this study, conventional isolation methods were used in cell culture to study occurrence of infection in pet birds. Samples from the conjunctiva, choana, and clo...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Chlamydophila psittaci species-specific and genotype-specific real-time PCR.
A Chlamydophila psittaci species-specific real-time PCR targeting the rDNA ribosomal spacer was developed as well as a genotype-specific real-time PCR targeting the Cp. psittaci outer membrane protein A (ompA) gene. The SYBR Green-based species-specific real-time PCR detected Cp. psittaci genotypes A to F, and the recently discovered E/B genotype. The genotype-specific real-time PCR could easil...
متن کاملGenotyping of Chlamydophila psittaci in Human Samples
Chlamydophila (formerly Chlamydia) psittaci genotypes A, B, C, and a new genotype most similar to the 6BC type strain were found in 10 humans with psittacosis by outer membrane protein A gene sequencing. Genotypes B (n = 3) and C (n = 1) are endemic in nonpsittacine European birds. These birds may represent an important part of the zoonotic reservoir.
متن کاملMissing links in the divergence of Chlamydophila abortus from Chlamydophila psittaci.
Pathological and serological evidence and DNA-DNA reassociation data indicate that Chlamydophila psittaci and Chlamydophila abortus are separate species. C. psittaci causes avian systemic disease and C. abortus causes abortion. Both previously belonged to Chlamydia psittaci are associated with zoonotic and enzootic outbreaks. Genetic studies suggest that they are closely related and because of ...
متن کاملDetection of Chlamydophila psittaci in Asymptomatic Animals
With interest we read the article of Saito et al. that describes a severe case of chlamydiosis in humans (3). However, according to us two major points need to be clarified. The taxonomy of chlamydiae has been illustrated in 1999 by Everett et al. (1), and such classification is accepted universally, as evidenced by a number of manuscripts published in recent years. Classification is based on d...
