The therapeutic efficacy of neem (Azadirecta indica) leaf extract against coinfection with Chlamydophila psittaci and low pathogenic avian influenza virus H9N2 in broiler chickens. [PDF]
: Avian chlamydiosis is a serious avian infection that carries a significant zoonotic danger to the poultry industry. The respiratory co-infections caused by the low pathogenic avian influenza virus H9N2 (LPAIV H9N2) also cause significant financial ...

Seroprevalence of Chlamydophila Psittaci among Employees of Two German Duck Farms. [PDF]
Psittacosis is a zoonotic infectious disease that is caused by Chlamydophila psittaci. To determine the occupational risk of getting the infection, we investigated the seroprevalence of C. psittaci among employees of two German duck farms and two slaughterhouses according to their level of exposure to the pathogen during the years 2010, 2007, and 2004.

Detection of Chlamydophila psittaci in asymptomatic animals. [PDF]
With interest we read the article of Saito et al. that describes a severe case of chlamydiosis in humans ([3][1]). However, according to us two major points need to be clarified. The taxonomy of chlamydiae has been illustrated in 1999 by Everett et al.

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

Two fatal cases of psittacosis caused by Chlamydophila psittaci [PDF]
Two fatal cases of psittacosis are described in two poultry-processing-plant employees presenting with pneumonia and respiratory failure. Diagnosis was confirmed by serological and PCR methods. Psittacosis due to Chlamydophila psittaci infection usually has a good recovery rate, although diagnostic delay and mistreatment can lead to severe ...

The type III secretion system (T3SS) of Chlamydophila psittaci is involved in the host inflammatory response by activating the JNK/ERK signaling pathway. [PDF]
Chlamydophila psittaci (C. psittaci) is a human zoonotic pathogen, which could result in severe respiratory disease. In the present study, we investigated the role and mechanism of the type III secretion system (T3SS) of C.

Three cases of atypical pneumonia caused by Chlamydophila psittaci [PDF]
Psittacosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Chlamydophila psittaci. The most common presentation is atypical pneumonia. Three cases of pneumonia of varying severity due to psittacosis are described. All patients had a history of avian contact. The diagnosis was confirmed by molecular detection of Chlamydophila psittaci in respiratory specimens.
