Prevalence of Chlamydophila abortus Infection in Domesticated Ruminants in Taiwan
This study is to (1) investigate the prevalence of Chlamydophila abortus infection in cows and goats in Taiwan, and (2) compare the genetic properties of Taiwanese isolates with abortion strains from other sources. Approximately 71% of aborted cows and 58% of aborted does had IgG against C. abortus in their sera.

Role of Chlamydophila abortus in Ovine and Caprine Abortion in Sardinia, Italy
Veterinary Research Communications, 2005Between 1999-2003, 14321 sera and 646 abortion samples (498 foetuses and 148 placentae) were analysed from 807 sheep and goat farms distributed all over the island of Sardinia. After notification of abortion in a flock, sera collected at random from adult animals were examined to detect antibodies specific to Chlamydophila (C.) abortus by ELISA ...

Rechallenge of previously-infected pregnant ewes with Chlamydophila abortus
Veterinary Research Communications, 2005In an attempt to ascertain the means whereby previous exposure to Chlamydophila (C.) abortus can protect against the re-occurrence of enzootic abortion of ewes (EAE), ten previously-exposed ewes were intravenously rechallenged with a large infective dose of C. abortus during pregnancy.

Detection of Chlamydophila abortus in Sheep (Ovis aries) in Mexico
Chlamydophila abortus is one of the pathogens which induce abortion in small ruminants; this pathogen has a tropism for ruminant placenta and causes the disease commonly referred to as Ovine Enzootic Abortion (OEA). In Europe are estimated economic losses of around 20 million pounds a year by OEA. In the American Continent the disease has been reported

Evaluation of two commercial assays for the detection of Chlamydophila abortus antibodies
Veterinary Microbiology, 2007Two commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), the CHEKIT-CHLAMYDIA which uses inactivated Chlamydophila psittaci antigen, and the Chlamydophila abortus ELISA produced by the Institut Pourquier which uses a recombinant fragment of the 80-90 kDa protein, were evaluated with the objective to determine whether the new ELISAs would perform as ...

Chlamydophila abortus infection in the mouse: A useful model of the ovine disease
Veterinary Microbiology, 2009Chlamydophila (C.) abortus is an obligate intracellular bacterium able to colonize the placenta of several species of mammals, which may induce abortion in the last third of pregnancy. The infection affects mainly small ruminants resulting in major economic losses in farming industries worldwide.

Infection of bovine oviduct cell cultures with Chlamydophila abortus
Animal Reproduction Science, 2007Bovine infertility is a major cause of loss in the livestock industry. In the present study bovine oviduct cell cultures were infected with a Chlamydophila abortus strain. A direct evaluation of infection was performed by means of May Grünwald-Giemsa and immunocytochemistry for chlamydial LPS, which revealed inclusion bodies and vacuolisation.
