| description | <b>Aim: </b>Avian chlamydiosis is a systemic, zoonotic, sometimes fatal disease
caused by Chlamydophila psittaci in domestic and wild poultry. Although C.
psittaci does not always cause serious disease in poultry, it can cause serious
disease especially in immunosuppressive humans. The aim of this study was
to determine the prevalence of C. psittaci, in stool samples of pigeons and
paraquets, in Konya province.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>Fifty pigeon feces samples taken from a total of 600
pigeons belonging to 24 different breeders and 52 fecal samples taken from
632 paraquets from 30 different breeders were the samples in this study.
The presence of C. psittaci was investigated by Real Time PCR based on the
presence of ompA gene in these samples.<p>
<b>Results:</b> The presence of C.psittaci ompA gene was determined as 2% and
1%, respectively, by real time PCR in stool samples of pigeons and paraquet
in Konya region.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> The fact that the disease is zoonotic and people's close contact
with poultry, especially pigeons and caged birds is increased the importance
of the disease in terms of public healthday day by day. |
