Chlamydia psittaci in garden birds in Sweden

One Health, 2023
Increased numbers of human infections with Chlamydia psittaci have been associated with bird feeding activities in southern Sweden. Information on occurrence and genotype of C. psittaci in garden birds in Sweden is required to corroborate this finding but data are limited. Additionally, pathogenicity of C. psittaci for garden birds is poorly understood.

Chlamydia psittaci in birds of prey, Sweden [PDF]

Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2012
Chlamydia psittaci is an intracellular bacterium primarily causing respiratory diseases in birds but may also be transmitted to other animals, including humans. The prevalence of the pathogen in wild birds in Sweden is largely unknown.DNA was extracted from cloacae swabs and screened for C. psittaci by using a 23S rRNA gene PCR assay.

The CrP operon of Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia pneumoniae [PDF]

Microbiology, 1995
One of the critical developmental events during the unique intracellular life cycle of Chlamydiae is their differentiation from a metabolically active, replicative form or reticulate body (RB) to an infectious extracellular form of the organism (elementary body or EB). This process is characterized by the expression of two extraordinarily cysteine-rich
