isolation of chlamydia psittaci from naturally infected african clawed frogs (xenopus laevis).	an inclusion-forming agent was isolated from the livers of commercially raised african clawed frogs (xenopus laevis) involved in an epizootic of high morbidity and mortality. original isolation was made in mccoy cells. this agent was identified as chlamydia psittaci based on the formation of typical intracytoplasmic inclusions which developed within 48 h, were not stained by iodine, and were resistant to sulfadiazine. the isolate from one particular frog (designated as strain 178) was further st ...	1983	6347897
spontaneous and experimental infections of xenopus laevis with chlamydia psittaci.	chlamydial infection was suspected when widespread pyogranulomatous inflammation and large basophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were evident histopathologically in african clawed frogs (xenopus laevis) dying of a spontaneous disease of high morbidity and mortality. organism morphology was determined by electron microscopy of infected hepatic sinusoidal lining cells, and it was characteristic of the unique developmental cycle of a chlamydial agent. isolation and speciation of the organism ...	1982	7162133
