CHLAMYDIOSIS

In ruminants, chlamydiosis is a contagious, infectious disease caused by a bacterium that also infects birds and humans. It can cause abortion, premature delivery, pneumonia, conjunctivitis and arthritis in ruminants. The infection can be transmitted to the new-born, young or adult ruminant by the large numbers of bacteria excreted in foetal envelopes and fluids, faeces, urine and milk although the main route of infection is via the inhalation of contaminated aerosols.

Chlamydia taxonomy was revised by Everett in 1999. In the new classification, the species are divided between two main genera:

- the genus Chlamydia which includes C. trachomatis (humans), C. suis (pigs) and C. muridarum (mice and hamsters),

- the genus Chlamydophila which consists of six species, namely Cp. abortus (mammals), Cp. psittaci (birds), Cp. felis (cats), Cp. caviae (guinea pigs), Cp. pecorum (mammals) and Cp. pneumoniae (humans).

In ruminants, two species have been identified, i.e. Cp. abortus (which causes abortion) and Cp. pecorum (which causes asymptomatic gut infection, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, arthritis, abortion and infertility). In pregnant women, C. abortus can also induce abortion with serious complications.
