The molecular epidemiology of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infections in Western Australia: implications for trachoma control.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene - 1 Mar 2008

Porter Michelle, Mak Donna, Chidlow Glenys, Harnett Gerald B, Smith David W

Abstract excerpt

We studied the serovar distribution of Chlamydia trachomatis in patients with clinical eye disease in Western Australia. Most disease occurred in indigenous communities and was caused by trachoma serovars Ba and C. Serovar Ba was genetically homogeneous throughout Western Australia and identical to strains previously described in indigenous communities in Northern Territory. This finding probably results from...
