Prevalence of chlamydia-related organisms with zoonotic potential in farms of the poltava region.

Objective: The aim of our work was to survey private farms in the Poltava region on the prevalence of Chlamydia-like organisms Waddlia chondrophila and Parachlamydia acanthamoebae.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The PCR research was conducted in 2018-2019 at the Institute of Pig Breeding and Аgro-industrial production of the NAAS. The study materials were 300 vaginal scrapings of cows and 28 samples of clinical material of pigs and boars with a suspicion of a chlamydial infection, which were selected at private farms in the Poltava region.

Objective: Introduction: Waddlia chondrophila and Parachlamydia acanthamoebae are well-known and best-studied representatives of Сhlamydia-related bacteria carrying a potential zoonotic threat. These bacteria are associated with miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, diseases of the respiratory system in both humans and animals. Despite the importance of these Сhlamydia-like organisms for human medicine along with veterinary medicine, studies on their prevalence in Ukraine were not conducted due to the lack of available tests.
