Abstract

We investigated the Chlamydia spp. occurrence in Eurasian Collared Doves (Streptopelia decaocto) from urban and suburban areas in northern Italy. Among 76 doves screened, prevalence of Chlamydia spp. was 61%. Chlamydia psittaci genotype E was identified in 33 of the 46 positive samples. The multilocus sequence typing pattern of one highly positive sample showed a new allelic combination. The same molecular features were observed in a C. psittaci strain subsequently isolated from a live dove. Our results reveal a high C. psittaci prevalence in S. decaocto. The spread of this zoonotic pathogen from collared doves to other birds or humans seems to be a potential risk.

摘要

我们调查了意大利北部城市和郊区的欧亚领鸽（Streptopelia decaocto）中衣原体属的出现情况。在76只接受筛查的鸽子中，衣原体属的患病率为61%。在46份阳性样本中的33份中鉴定出鹦鹉热衣原体基因型E。一个高度阳性样本的多位点序列分型模式显示出一种新的等位基因组合。随后从一只活鸽中分离出的一株鹦鹉热衣原体菌株也观察到了相同的分子特征。我们的结果显示欧亚领鸽中鹦鹉热衣原体的患病率很高。这种人畜共患病原体从领鸽传播到其他鸟类或人类似乎是一种潜在风险。
