Analysis of polymorphic membrane protein expression in cultured cells Identifies PmpA and PmpH of Chlamydia psittaci as candidate factors in pathogenesis and immunity to infection [PDF]
The polymorphic membrane protein (Pmp) paralogous families of Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia abortus are putative targets for Chlamydia vaccine development. To determine whether this is also the case for Pmp family members of C.

Detection of Chlamydial DNA from Mediterranean Loggerhead Sea Turtles in Southern Italy
Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that include pathogens of human and veterinary importance. Several reptiles were reported to host chlamydial agents, but pathogenicity in these animals still needs clarification.

Chlamydia psittaci infection in canaries heavily infested by Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
Dermanyssus gallinae is a haematophagous ectoparasite responsible for anemia, weight loss, dermatitis and a decrease in egg production. Dermanyssus gallinae may play a role in the modulation of the host immune system, maybe predisposing the host to some ...

Using an agent-based sexual-network model to analyze the impact of mitigation efforts for controlling chlamydia [PDF]
Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the most reported sexually transmitted infection in the United States with a major cause of infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease among women. Despite decades of screening women for Ct, rates increase among young African Americans (AA). We create and analyze an agent-based network model to understand the spread of Ct.

Protochlamydia naegleriophila as Etiologic Agent of Pneumonia
Using ameba coculture, we grew a Naegleria endosymbiont. Phenotypic, genetic, and phylogenetic analyses supported its affiliation as Protochlamydia naegleriophila sp. nov. We then developed a specific diagnostic PCR for Protochlamydia spp.
