Prevalence of Chlamydia psittaci in the feral pigeon population of Basel, Switzerland.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Feb 2012

Geigenfeind Ila, Vanrompay Daisy, Haag-Wackernagel Daniel

Abstract excerpt

Feral pigeons (Columba livia) are commonly infected with Chlamydia psittaci, the agent of psittacosis in humans. To assess the risk of zoonosis posed by feral pigeons in the urban environment, we determined the prevalence of Chlamydia psittaci by detection of the outer-membrane protein A (ompA) gene of this pathogen in pharyngeal and cloacal samples of 202 feral pigeons present in a loft in Basel, Switzerland....
