Title: Quantitative detection of Chlamydia psittaci and C. pecorum by high-sensitivity real-time PCR reveals high prevalence of vaginal infection in cattle. Author: DeGraves FJ, Gao D, Hehnen HR, Schlapp T, Kaltenboeck B. Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2003 Apr; 41(4):1726-9. PubMed ID: 12682170. Abstract: Bovine vaginal cytobrush specimens were analyzed for the presence of Chlamydia spp. by a high-sensitivity, high-specificity quantitative PCR. The 53% prevalence of low-level Chlamydia psittaci and C. pecorum genital infection detected in virgin heifers suggests predominantely extragenital transmission of Chlamydia in cattle and conforms to the high seroprevalence of anti-Chlamydia antibodies.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
