First Experimental Evidence for the Transmission of Chlamydia psittaci in Poultry through Eggshell Penetration.
Eggshell penetration by pathogens is considered a potential route for their transmission in poultry flocks. Additionally, in case of zoonotic pathogens, contact with infected eggs or their consumption can result in human infection. Chlamydia psittaci is a zoonotic bacterium that causes a respiratory disease in poultry and humans. In this study, we provide an experimental evidence for eggshell p...
متن کاملSerotyping of European isolates of Chlamydia psittaci from poultry and other birds.
A panel of five serovar-specific monoclonal antibodies which distinguish the five known avian serovars of Chlamydia psittaci was used to serotype 45 European avian Chlamydia psittaci isolates. Chlamydial antigen was grown in Buffalo green monkey (BGM) cells or in embryonated chicken eggs and was then inoculated into BGM cells. Serotyping was performed in an indirect immunofluorescence test. The...
متن کاملChlamydia psittaci in birds of prey, Sweden
BACKGROUND Chlamydia psittaci is an intracellular bacterium primarily causing respiratory diseases in birds but may also be transmitted to other animals, including humans. The prevalence of the pathogen in wild birds in Sweden is largely unknown. METHODS DNA was extracted from cloacae swabs and screened for C. psittaci by using a 23S rRNA gene PCR assay. Partial 16S rRNA and ompA gene fragmen...
متن کاملMiniature cell formation in Chlamydia psittaci.
In an electron microscope study on the developmental cycle of the goat pneumonitis strain of Chlamydia psittaci in L cells, it was observed that miniature reticulate bodies, measuring approximately 0.2 mum in diameter and surrounded by double unit membranes, were produced infrequently from normal-sized reticulate bodies through a "budding"-like process. As little as 0.1 mug of penicillin per ml...
متن کاملAntibody Testing for Chlamydia psittaci using a rapid ELISA
The Immunocomb (IC) ELISA test and immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy were compared on their ability to diagnose Chlamydia psittaci infection. Birds with and without clinical signs suggestive of chlamydiosis were tested. Although both test methods can detect infection by C. psittaci, the IC test is more convenient and provides the benefit of "on site" laboratory testing.
