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).

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 ...

High frequency of chlamydial co-infections in clinically healthy sheep flocks [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research, 2011
Background The epidemiological situation of ovine chlamydial infections in continental Europe, especially Germany is poorly characterised. Using the German state of Thuringia as a model example, the chlamydial sero- and antigen prevalence was estimated ...

Complete genome sequences of four mammalian isolates of Chlamydophila psittaci. [PDF]

J Bacteriol, 2011
ABSTRACT Chlamydia psittaci is an obligate intracellular zoonotic pathogen primarily of birds, but it is also known to infect a variety of mammalian species. Here we report the genomes of four strains isolated from sheep (C19/98), pigs (01DC11), cattle (02DC15), and humans (08DC60).

Community-Acquired <i>Chlamydia psittaci</i> Severe Pneumonia: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Chlamydia psittaci, the causative agent of psittacosis, is an intracellular bacterium typically transmitted from birds to humans, leading to atypical pneumonia. We present a case of a 60‐year‐old man with no reported bird exposure but a history of working as a chief cook, potentially exposed to poultry.

Molecular Detection of Chlamydophila Abortus In Aborted Fetal Tissues by Using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) In Tabriz, Northwest of Iran [PDF]

Journal of Cell and Molecular Research, 2017
Enzootic abortion of ewes (EAE) induced by Chlamydophila abortus (formerly Chlamydia psittaci serotype1) is a major cause of reproductive failures in most sheep producing countries.

Marginal zone lymphoma: 2023 update on diagnosis and management

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 10, Page 1645-1657, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Disease overview Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are collectively the second most common type of indolent lymphoma. Diagnosis Three subtypes of MZL are recognized: splenic, extranodal, and nodal. The diagnosis is secured following biopsy of an involved nodal or extranodal site demonstrating a clonal B‐cell infiltrate with CD5 and CD10 negative ...

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Proximity to anthropogenic food sources determine roosting and nesting prevalence of feral pigeons (Columba livia) in a tropical city

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 2, April–June 2023., 2023
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is the principal mode of railway transportation in Singapore. Feral pigeons (Columba livia) commonly use the railway viaduct expansion gaps for day roosting and nesting (top figure). Feral pigeons preferred day roosting in expansion gaps where proximate anthropogenic feeding occurrences were higher (bottom left figure) and ...

An unusual presentation of a case of human psittacosis [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Chlamydia psittaci is a gram-negative, obligate intracellular organism. Birds are the main reservoir, but also non-avian domestic animals and humans can be infected.
