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.

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 ...

Missing links in the divergence of Chlamydophila abortus from Chlamydophila psittaci [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2003
Pathological and serological evidence and DNA-DNA reassociation data indicate that Chlamydophila psittaci and Chlamydophila abortus are separate species. C. psittaci causes avian systemic disease and C. abortus causes abortion. Both previously belonged to Chlamydia psittaci are associated with zoonotic and enzootic outbreaks.

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 ...

Ribavirin Treatment for Severe Schizophrenia with Anti‐Borna Disease Virus 1 Antibodies 30 Years after Onset

Case Reports in Psychiatry, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Objective. Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV‐1) was proven to cause fatal encephalitis in humans in 2018. However, the effects of persistent infections remain unclear. Here, we present the case of a 50‐year‐old woman with a 30‐year history of severe schizophrenia, who was exposed to fleas from stray cats prior to disease onset, suggesting the possibility of ...

Chlamydophila spp. infection in horses with recurrent airway obstruction: similarities to human chronic obstructive disease

Respiratory Research, 2008
Background Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) in horses is a naturally occurring dust-induced disease mainly characterized by bronchiolitis which shows histological and pathophysiological similarities to human chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
