Abstract
Chlamydia psittaci is an obligate intracellular gram-negative bacterium with a unique biphasic developmental cycle. It is a zoonotic pathogen with a wide range of hosts and can cause avian chlamydiosis in birds and psittacosis in humans. The pathogen is transmitted mainly through horizontal transmission between birds. Cross-species transmission sometimes occurs and human-to-human transmission has recently been confirmed. This review provides an updated overview of C. psittaci from the perspective of both avian chlamydiosis and psittacosis. We include the aspects of genotype, host-pathogen interaction, transmission, epidemiology, detection and diagnosis, clinical manifestation, management, and prevention, aiming to provide a basic understanding of C. psittaci and offer fresh insights focused on zoonosis and cross-species transmission.
期刊介绍：
Virulence is a fully open access peer-reviewed journal. All articles will (if accepted) be available for anyone to read anywhere, at any time immediately on publication.
Virulence is the first international peer-reviewed journal of its kind to focus exclusively on microbial pathogenicity, the infection process and host-pathogen interactions. To address the new infectious challenges, emerging infectious agents and antimicrobial resistance, there is a clear need for interdisciplinary research.
