Zoonotic transmission of Chlamydia psittaci in a chicken and turkey hatchery.
Chlamydia psittaci is an obligately intracellular Gram-negative bacterium causing respiratory disease (chlamydiosis) or asymptomatic carriage in birds. C. psittaci is a zoonotic agent causing psittacosis or parrot fever in humans. Vertical and/or horizontal transmission via eggs might have serious repercussions on the C. psittaci infection status of poultry flocks and thus on zoonotic risk for ...
متن کاملGenome sequences of the zoonotic pathogens Chlamydia psittaci 6BC and Cal10.
Chlamydia psittaci is a highly prevalent avian pathogen and the cause of a potentially lethal zoonosis, causing life-threatening pneumonia in humans. We report the genome sequences of C. psittaci 6BC, the prototype strain of the species, and C. psittaci Cal10, a widely used laboratory strain.
متن کاملChlamydophila Psittaci as an Emerging Zoonotic Pathogen of Global Significance
Emerging zoonotic diseases have received greater attention at national and international levels in recent times. The emergence of zoonosis is a complex process involving biological, ecological and social factors. In recent past, many zoonoses of multiple etiologies have emerged from different parts of the world [1]. Among this, chlamydiosis (ornithosis, parrot fever, psittacosis) is an emerging...
متن کاملEchocardiographic follow-up of Chlamydia psittaci myocarditis.
Chlamydia psittaci myocarditis has been infrequently reported. A case of serologically confirmed C psittaci myocarditis with dilated left ventricle and severely impaired left ventricular function is described. Serial echocardiograms demonstrated complete recovery after therapy. An early diagnosis has important prognostic implications.
متن کاملDetection of Chlamydia psittaci by immunofluorescence.
A direct fluorescent-antibody (FA) test was developed to detect Chlamydia psittaci in dural impressions from specimen-inoculated mice. Technical procedures for the test were compared. C. psittaci was found in mice after infection as early by the FA technique as it was by cytochemical staining methods usually used. The lymphogranuloma venereum organism was also stained by conjugated antibody to ...
