Characterisation of Chlamydia pneumoniae and other novel chlamydial infections in captive snakes.

Veterinary microbiology - 9 Jul 2015

Taylor-Brown Alyce, Rüegg Simon, Polkinghorne Adam, Borel Nicole

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydiosis has been described in both free-ranging and captive reptiles. The infection usually manifests as granulomatous inflammation in inner organs such as spleen, heart, lung and liver but might also occur in asymptomatic reptiles. The aim of this study was to investigate and characterise Chlamydia pneumoniae and potential other novel chlamydial infections in the choana and cloaca samples of 137 clinically...
