2016-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia psittaci is an important zoonotic pathogen in birds and may be transmitted to humans and result in severe respiratory disease. To assess the prevalence and genotype of C. psittaci in birds in Kunming, Yunnan, China, a total of 136 specimens of psittacine birds involving 8 species were collected from the city’s zoos (n=60) and pet markets (n=76). The frequency of C. psittaci infection was 19.9% (27/136) i...
