Infection with Chlamydia psittaci, often referred to as avian chlamydiosis (AC), is an important cause of systemic illness in companion birds (i.e., birds kept by humans as pets) and poultry. Infection can be transmitted from infected birds to humans. In humans, infection caused by C. psittaci is referred to as psittacosis, which can result in fatal pneumonia. This compendium provides information on AC (also known as psittacosis, ornithosis, and parrot fever) and psittacosis (also known as parrot disease, parrot fever, and chlamydiosis) to public health officials, veterinarians, physicians, the companion-bird industry, and others concerned with control of the disease and protection of public health. These recommendations provide effective, standardized disease control procedures for AC in companion birds and will be reviewed and revised as necessary.
鹦鹉热衣原体感染，通常称为禽衣原体病（AC），是伴侣鸟（即人类作为宠物饲养的鸟类）和家禽全身性疾病的重要病因。感染可从受感染的鸟类传播给人类。在人类中，鹦鹉热衣原体引起的感染称为鹦鹉热，可导致致命的肺炎。本手册向公共卫生官员、兽医、医生、伴侣鸟行业以及其他关注疾病控制和公众健康保护的人员提供有关禽衣原体病（也称为鹦鹉热、鸟疫和鹦鹉热）和鹦鹉热（也称为鹦鹉病、鹦鹉热和衣原体病）的信息。这些建议为伴侣鸟中的禽衣原体病提供了有效的、标准化的疾病控制程序，并将根据需要进行审查和修订。
