| chlamydia pecorum infection in free-ranging koalas ( phascolarctos cinereus ) on french island, victoria, australia. | we detected chlamydia pecorum in two koalas ( phascolarctos cinereus ) from a closed island population in victoria, australia, previously free of chlamydia infection. the ompa and multilocus sequence type were most closely related to published isolates of livestock rather than koala origin, suggesting potential cross-species transmission of c. pecorum . | 2016 | 26981690 |
| identification of unusual chlamydia pecorum genotypes in victorian koalas (phascolarctos cinereus) and clinical variables associated with infection. | chlamydia pecorum infection is a threat to the health of free-ranging koalas (phascolarctos cinereus) in australia. utilizing an extensive sample archive we determined the prevalence of c. pecorum in koalas within six regions of victoria, australia. the ompa genotypes of the detected c. pecorum were characterized to better understand the epidemiology of this pathogen in victorian koalas. despite many studies in northern australia (i.e. queensland and new south wales), prior chlamydia studies in ... | 2016 | 26932792 |
| longitudinal prevalence and faecal shedding of chlamydia pecorum in sheep. | the prevalence and faecal shedding of chlamydia spp. in sheep in australia has not been well described. two species-specific quantitative pcrs (qpcrs) targeting the chlamydial outer membrane protein cell surface antigen gene (ompa) were validated and used to determine the prevalence and faecal shedding of c. abortus and c. pecorum from faecal samples of lambs at three sampling times (weaning, post-weaning and pre-slaughter) from eight farms in south australia, new south wales, victoria and weste ... | 2014 | 24954870 |
