Turkeys from 8 commercial flocks, of which were 6 clinically healthy, were examined by use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay systems for genus-specific Chlamydia antigens and also for antibodies against Chlamydia psittaci in 4 flocks. Results of the tests indicate the presence of Chlamydia psittaci infections in all 8 flocks. The percentage of combined cloacal and conjunctival swabs positive for Chlamydia antigen ranged from 20-91% [20-70%] whereas the percentage of antibody-positive serum samples ranged from 81-100%. Our findings suggest, that the prevalence of Chlamydia psittaci infections in clinically healthy turkey flocks is higher than hitherto suspected.
对来自8个商业鸡群的火鸡进行了检测，其中6个鸡群临床健康。使用酶联免疫吸附测定系统检测衣原体属特异性抗原，并对4个鸡群检测抗鹦鹉热衣原体的抗体。检测结果表明，所有8个鸡群均存在鹦鹉热衣原体感染。衣原体抗原检测中泄殖腔和结膜拭子合并阳性的百分比为20%-91%[20%-70%]，而抗体阳性血清样本的百分比为81%-100%。我们的研究结果表明，临床健康火鸡群中鹦鹉热衣原体感染的流行率高于迄今的推测。
