Chlamydophila psittaci pneumonia followed by lower gastrointestinal ischemic necrosis: a case report. [PDF]
Front Med (Lausanne)BackgroundPsittacosis, also known as parrot fever, is an uncommon infectious disease caused by Chlamydophila psittaci (C. psittaci). While C. psittaci infections are usually not life-threatening, the pathogenesis and associated complications are not yet ...

Genotyping of Chlamydophila psittaci in human samples. [PDF]
Emerg Infect Dis, 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. Genotypes B (n = 3) and C (n = 1) are endemic in nonpsittacine European birds. These birds may represent an important part of the zoonotic reservoir.

Detection and identification of Chlamydophila psittaci in asymptomatic parrots in Poland. [PDF]
BMC Vet Res, 2012 Psittacosis, an avian disease caused by Chlamydophila psittaci, can manifest as an acute, protracted, or chronic illness, but can also be asymptomatic. C. psittaci can persist in the host for months to years, often without causing obvious illness, and therefore poses a threat for zoonotic outbreak. We investigated the prevalence of C. psittaci from 156

Chlamydophila psittaci transmission from pet birds to humans. [PDF]
Emerg Infect Dis, 2007 We studied zoonotic transmission of Chlamydophila psittaci in 39 breeding facilities for Psittaciformes (cockatoos, parrots, parakeets, lories) that frequently used antimicrobial drugs. Genotypes A or E/B were detected in 14.9% of humans at these facilities. Information on antimicrobial drug use in Psittaciformes and a C.

Chlamydophila psittaciin Fulmars, the Faroe Islands [PDF]
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. Despite a high level of exposure, the risk for transmission of C. psittaci to humans is low.

Chlamydophila psittaci in homing and feral pigeons and zoonotic transmission [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2010 Chlamydiosis is a zoonotic disease in birds caused by Chlamydophila psittaci, an obligate intracellular bacterium. There are seven known avian outer-membrane protein A genotypes, A–F and E/B. The importance of genotyping lies in the fact that certain genotypes tend to be associated with certain hosts and a difference in virulence.

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).

Chlamydophila psittaci infections in birds: A review with emphasis on zoonotic consequences
Veterinary Microbiology, 2009 The first part of the present review gives an overview on the history of infectious agents of the order Chlamydiales and the general infection biology of Chlamydophila (C.) psittaci, the causative agent of psittacosis. In the second part, the classification of C.

Feral pigeons as reservoirs for hazardous Chlamydophila psittaci strains with zoonotic potential
Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2023 Chlamydophila psittaci is found in pigeons worldwide. The abundance of feral pigeons living in close contact with humans and livestock are considered a significant risk factor for human and farm animal infections.

Prevalence of chlamydophila psittaci infection in pigeons and paraquets by a real time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2022 Aim: Avian chlamydiosis is a systemic, zoonotic, sometimes fatal disease caused by Chlamydophila psittaci in domestic and wild poultry. Although C. psittaci does not always cause serious disease in poultry, it can cause serious disease especially in ...
