Chlamydophila psittaci in homing and feral pigeons and zoonotic transmission.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Nov 2010

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydiosis is a zoonotic disease in birds caused by Chlamydophila psittaci, an obligate intracellular bacterium. There are seven known avian outer-membrane protein A genotypes, A-F and E/B. The importance of genotyping lies in the fact that certain genotypes tend to be associated with certain hosts and a difference in virulence. Genotype B is the most prevalent in pigeons, but the more virulent genotypes A and...
