Positive-testing cats were frequently from multi-cat households. Chlamydia spp. is present and associated with conjunctivitis in cats in New Zealand. Infection may occur concurrently with viral diseases. Feline calicivirus was recovered from 27 (21 with conjunctivitis) of 37 cats tested in five ...
The purpose of this study was to try to establish a correlation between any type of arteriosclerotic changes in hearts of dogs and cats and chlamydial infection. It is worth mentioning however, that the initial aim of this study was to try to establish a correlation between atherosclerotic ...
trachomatis eye infection, how- ever escapes detection when commercially available nucleic acid amplification techniques for C. trachomatis are used. Although ruminants are the principal hosts of C. abortus, humans are also susceptible to infection [49, 51, 100]. Partic- ularly during the lambing...
