Abortion is one of the most important economic issues in sheep flocks. Chlamydophila abortus is an agent of enzootic abortions in sheep. Mycoplasma agalactiae is the main etiological agent of contagious agalactia, which can cause abortion in sheep. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of M. agalactiae and C. abortus among aborted ovine fetu...

The aim of the study was to determine the seroprevalance of Chlamydophila abortus in aborting ewes and cattle in the Kars province in the north-eastern part of Turkey. Thirty sheep flocks and 26 herds of dairy cattle out of 4 districts in the province were examined by ELISA. For this purpose, abortion cases of 236 sheep and 192 cows of different breeds and age were investigated serologically du...

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de anticuerpos contra Chlamydophila abortus en el ganado bovino los distritos Coracora, Chumpi y Pullo provincia Parinacochas, departamento Ayacucho, Perú. Los animales eran criados forma extensiva bajo monta natural. Se tomaron 184 muestras sangre bovinos mayores 4 meses indistintamente sexo. La detección C. se hizo con un kit comercial ELI...

La bacteria Clamydophila abortus, ocasiona el aborto y la muerte temprana de crías débiles en ganado caprino ovino. Su detección es compleja puede llevar a falsos negativos cuando ocurren reacciones cruzadas algunas las técnicas utilizadas. Por esta razón, objetivo este trabajo fue clonar expresar proteína MOMP Chlamydophila para usarse como antígeno diagnóstico enfermedad ocasionada por bacter...

It has been suggested that polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmps) belonging to the Type V autotransporter protein family play an important role in the pathogenesis of Chlamydia abortus (C. abortus; formerly Chlamydophila abortus) infection. In a previous study we demonstrated the expression of all the pmps at the transcriptional level. The purpose of this study was to measure the number of Pmp po...

Few data are available on the prevalence and relevance of chlamydiae in wild mammals, and even fewer studies have been conducted to determine the prevalence of Chlamydophila abortus in wildlife hosts, most probably due to the absence of suitable species-specific serological assays for testing sera from wild animals. In light of this, we have developed two in-house blocking-ELISA tests for detec...
