  • Title: Chlamydophila psittaci in Fulmars, the Faroe Islands.
    Author: Herrmann B, Persson H, Jensen JK, Joensen HD, Klint M, Olsen B.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2006 Feb; 12(2):330-2. PubMed ID: 16494766.
    Abstract:
    Chlamydophila psittaci was detected in 10% of 431 fulmars examined from the Faroe Islands. Analysis of ompA showed a sequence almost identical to that of the type strain. The origin of C. psittaci outbreaks in fulmars is discussed. Despite a high level of exposure, the risk for transmission of C. psittaci to humans is low.
