is an avian pathogen with zoonotic potential. In Australia, has been well reported as a cause of reproductive loss in mares which subsequently have been the source of infection and illness in some in-contact humans. To date, molecular typing studies describe the predominant and clonal sequence type (ST)24 strains in horse, psittacine, and human infections.

- Birds can carry germs that can make both animals and humans sick, including a type called Chlamydia.
- In a study, scientists checked 564 birds in Australia and found that nearly 30% had Chlamydia, with some able to make people sick.
- They discovered new types of Chlamydia in more bird species than expected, which means there might be a greater risk of spreading these germs to other animals and humans.
is traditionally regarded as a globally distributed avian pathogen that can cause zoonotic spill-over. Molecular research has identified an extended global host range and significant genetic diversity. However, Australia has reported a reduced host range (avian, horse, and human) with a dominance of clonal strains, denoted ST24.
