Equine Psittacosis and the Emergence of Chlamydia psittaci as an Equine Abortigenic Pathogen in Southeastern Australia: A Retrospective Data Analysis

Animals, 2023
Chlamydia psittaci is an important zoonotic pathogen. Although primarily a pathogen of birds, from which infection can spillover into humans and other mammalian hosts, the importance of C.

Psittacosis

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1984
In the absence of recognized pneumonitis, psittacosis is unlikely to be considered as a cause of infection in patients with febrile illnesses. To identify findings useful in the diagnosis of psittacosis, the clinical and roentgenographic characteristics of 46 cases that occurred in two outbreaks among workers in turkey processing plants were reviewed ...

Three Cases of Atypical Pneumonia with Chlamydia psittaci: The Role of Laboratory Vigilance in the Diagnosis of Psittacosis

Pathogens, 2022
Chlamydia psittaci is an established zoonotic agent causing respiratory disease in humans. An infection often remains asymptomatic but can also result in flu-like illness, pneumonia or even multi-organ failure.

Animal sources for zoonotic transmission of psittacosis: a systematic review

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Human psittacosis, caused by Chlamydia (C.) psittaci, is likely underdiagnosed and underreported, since tests for C. psittaci are often not included in routine microbiological diagnostics. Source tracing traditionally focuses on psittacine pet
