Parachlamydia acanthamoebae and Its Zoonotic Risk
Parachlamydia acanthamoebae has been implicated as an emerging agent of pneumonia in humans. Recently, it has been linked to miscarriage and neonatal infections. In contrast, its role in atherosclerosis remains controversial. In animals, there is strong evidence for Parachlamydia as a new abortigenic in cattle, and further data on this agent in other animal species is accumulating. New diagnost...
متن کاملParachlamydia acanthamoebae in domestic cats with and without corneal disease.
Corneal samples of cats with and without corneal diseases were screened with a pan-Chlamydiales PCR and specific PCRs for Parachlamydia, Protochlamydia, Chlamydophila felis, Acanthamoeba and feline herpesviruses (FHV-1). Several corneal samples tested positive for Parachlamydia and related Chlamydiales, indicating cat exposure to these intracellular bacteria.

(i.e., East Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands) or high prevalence (i.e., San Miguel and Santa Rosa Islands). Future studies comparing longterm dynamics on islands and related mainlands are needed to examine the possibility that insular systems provide unique opportunities to understand the factors affecting pathogen dynamics and human risk. Given the substantial variation in mouse population de...
متن کاملA bovine model of a respiratory Parachlamydia acanthamoebae infection.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity of Parachlamydia (P.) acanthamoebae as a potential agent of lower respiratory tract disease in a bovine model of induced lung infection. Intrabronchial inoculation with P. acanthamoebae was performed in healthy calves aged 2-3 months using two challenge doses: 10(8) and 10(10) bacteria per animal. Controls received 10(8) heat-inactivated b...
متن کاملEvidence of Maternal–Fetal Transmission of Parachlamydia acanthamoebae
To the Editor: Parachlamydia acanthamoebae is a recently identifi ed agent of pneumonia (1–3) and has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including human miscarriage and bovine abortion (4,5). Parachlamydial sequences have also been detected in human cervical smears (4) and in guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis (6). We present direct evidence of maternal–fetal transmission of P. acantha...
