The experience is submitted gained with the diagnosis and treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis-associated esophagitis. Used in the study were laboratory and instrumental methods of diagnosis, with their merits and demerits outlined. It is pointed out that complex diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis-produced esophagitis is important, the treatment involving institution of anti-bacterial and immunomodulating therapies.

Chlamydiosis is one of the main causes of the progressive decline of koala populations in eastern Australia. While histologic, immunologic, and molecular studies have provided insights into the basic function of the koala immune system, the immune cell signatures during chlamydial infection of the reproductive tract in koalas have not been investigated. Thirty-two female koalas and 47 males presented to wildlife hospitals with clinical signs suggestive of infection were euthanized with the entire reproductive tract collected for histology; immunohistochemistry (IHC) for T-cell (CD3ε, CD4, and CD8α), B-cell (CD79b), and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR markers; and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) for .

- A herd of 26 guinea pigs suffered high mortality (16 died) after introducing three new animals, displaying symptoms like weight loss, conjunctivitis, and reproductive issues.
- Chlamydia caviae and Cryptosporidium wrairi infections were identified, with the former linked to human health risks and both contributing to the herd's declining health.
- The case highlights the potential zoonotic risks of guinea pigs, especially as pets often live closely with humans, suggesting a need for better awareness and hygiene practices.

Infection with Chlamydia pecorum is one of the main causes of progressive decline of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations in Eastern Australia. Pathological changes associated with the chlamydial infection in the genital tract of female and male koalas have been widely described with reports of acute and chronic lymphoplasmacytic inflammation and the description of the cystic dilatation of the ovarian bursa. Although these disease manifestations can result in severe chronic inflammation, structural changes and even sterility, only limited data is currently available on the organism's distribution and associated histopathological and ultrastructural changes within the upper genital tract of affected females.

Article Synopsis
- * In May 2018, a 1-year-old male Gouldian finch was diagnosed with the infection at a California lab, showing severe respiratory issues and high mortality rates among other finches in a mixed-species aviary.
- * Investigations revealed significant liver and spleen damage, with detection of the chlamydia bacteria and possible circovirus particles in the liver, marking it as the first documented case of this dual infection in a Gouldian finch.

Declining population sizes of koalas () in SE Queensland (QLD), Australia can partially be attributed to chlamydiosis, with the majority of epidemiological studies focusing on the prevalence of infection and associated pathology in female koalas, with lesser attention given to males. We aimed to explore the epidemiology of infection in the male urogenital tract from wild (hospitalized and free-ranging) koalas in SE QLD. Although 67% of male koalas were infected with in their urogenital tract and 55% were shedding the organism in their semen, only a third of the males sampled presented with overt signs of urogenital disease.
