  • Title: [Bacteriologic studies of the occurrence of Chlamydia psittaci in organs of swine and in aborted swine fetuses].
    Author: Wittenbrink MM, Wen X, Böhmer N, Amtsberg G, Binder A.
    Journal: Zentralbl Veterinarmed B; 1991 Aug; 38(6):411-20. PubMed ID: 1950250.
    Abstract:
    By inoculation of embryonating chicken eggs via the yolk sac route Chlamydia psittaci was grown from 11 lungs of 45 pigs with pneumonia (24.4%). From the lungs of 55 pigs with other diseases the organism was isolated in five cases (9.1%). Chlamydiae were not detectable by cultural methods in the uterine mucosa of 87 sows, arthritic joints of 30 store pigs and in aborted fetuses. A commercial available enzyme amplified immunoassay indicated the presence of chlamydial antigen in mucosal scrapings from the uterus of two sows and in the fetal membranes as well as fetal organs in one case of porcine abortion.
