Chlamydial Infection in Animals: A Review

Patricia E Shewen
PMCID: PMC1789659  PMID: 6988075

Abstract

A review of the literature concerning chlamydial infection in birds and animals, particularly domestic animals is presented. Following a general discussion of the agent, the nature of chlamydial infection and diagnostic criteria, information regarding disease is summarized for each species. The possibility of zoonotic transmission is also discussed.
