High resolution typing of Chlamydophila psittaci by multilocus VNTR analysis (MLVA) [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2008 A multilocus VNTR analysis (MLVA) system for detection of tandem repeats across the whole genome of Chlamydophila psittaci has been developed. Twenty selected genetic loci were initially tested on 9 avian reference strains including representatives of all major serotypes (A to F).
