    Author: Twomey DF, Griffiths PC, Horigan MW, Hignett BC, Martin TP.
    Journal: Vet J; 2006 May; 171(3):574-6. PubMed ID: 16624729.
    Abstract:
    An outbreak of upper respiratory tract disease was investigated in a group of 17 housed home-bred calves on a mixed dairy, beef and sheep farm in Devon. Conjunctival swabs were collected and tested for Chlamydophila spp. DNA using a PCR test that detects Chlamydophila abortus and Chlamydophila psittaci. Six of the calves tested gave a positive result. Further epidemiological observations and laboratory testing indicated that the adult dairy cows, from which the affected calves originated, were the most likely source of infection.
