Genotyping of Chlamydophila psittaci in Human Samples [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Chlamydophila (formerly Chlamydia) psittaci genotypes A, B, C, and a new genotype most similar to the 6BC type strain were found in 10 humans with psittacosis by outer membrane protein A gene sequencing.

Chlamydophila psittaci in Fulmars, the Faroe Islands
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Chlamydophila psittaci was detected in 10% of 431 fulmars examined from the Faroe Islands. Analysis of ompA showed a sequence almost identical to that of the type strain. The origin of C. psittaci outbreaks in fulmars is discussed.

Zoonotic Chlamydophila psittaci infections from a clinical perspective [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 Human psittacosis is a zoonotic infectious disease which is caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci. Transmission of the disease usually originates from close contact with infected birds, most frequently in the context of the poultry industry, and from contact with Psittaciformes (cockatoos, parrots, parakeets and lories).

Genome sequence of the zoonotic pathogen Chlamydophila psittaci. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2011 ABSTRACT We present the first genome sequence of Chlamydophila psittaci , an intracellular pathogen of birds and a human zoonotic pathogen. A comparison with previously sequenced Chlamydophila genomes shows that, as in other chlamydiae, most of the genome diversity is restricted to ...

A novel psittacine adenovirus identified during an outbreak of avian chlamydiosis and human psittacosis: zoonosis associated with virus-bacterium coinfection in birds. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Chlamydophila psittaci is found worldwide, but is particularly common among psittacine birds in tropical and subtropical regions. While investigating a human psittacosis outbreak that was associated with avian chlamydiosis in Hong Kong, we identified a ...
