Nasal and conjunctival swabs were obtained from 300 horses and Chlamydia psittaci was isolated from 15 of them (5 per cent). Eleven nasal swabs and six conjunctival swabs were positive on culture, but there was no association between the isolation of the organism and the presence of clinical ocular or respiratory disease. Six ponies were challenged with an equine isolate of C psittaci into the eye, nasal cavity or bronchial tree. The organism could be isolated from nasal and conjunctival swabs taken from the ponies for up to 17 days after challenge, but there was no clinical evidence of disease.
从300匹马身上采集了鼻拭子和结膜拭子，其中15匹（5%）分离出鹦鹉热衣原体。11份鼻拭子和6份结膜拭子培养呈阳性，但该病原体的分离与眼部或呼吸道临床疾病的存在之间没有关联。6匹小马通过眼部、鼻腔或支气管树接种了鹦鹉热衣原体的马源分离株。在接种后长达17天的时间里，可从这些小马采集的鼻拭子和结膜拭子中分离出该病原体，但没有疾病的临床证据。
