Chlamydiosis is a significant factor contributing to the decline of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations in Australia but has not previously been reported in South Australia. We describe conjunctivitis in three wild koalas from South Australia, with Chlamydia pecorum identified by quantitative PCR.
衣原体病是导致澳大利亚考拉(灰袋熊)种群数量下降的一个重要因素,但此前在南澳大利亚州尚未有过相关报道。我们描述了来自南澳大利亚州的三只野生考拉的结膜炎病例,并通过定量PCR鉴定出了考拉衣原体。
