Novel molecular markers of Chlamydia pecorum genetic diversity in the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus).

BMC microbiology - 18 Apr 2011

Marsh James, Kollipara Avinash, Timms Peter, Polkinghorne Adam

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia pecorum is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the causative agent of reproductive and ocular disease in several animal hosts including koalas, sheep, cattle and goats. C. pecorum strains detected in koalas are genetically diverse, raising interesting questions about the origin and transmission of this species within koala hosts. While the ompA gene remains the most widely-used target in...
