Background: Psittacosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by () infection, which can be transmitted by birds, poultry and wild animals. The symptoms and imaging findings of pneumonia are atypical and primarily rely on etiological diagnosis. The incidence of infection has been significantly underestimated because of the low sensitivity and poor timeliness of traditional diagnostic methods.

Background: In 2021, a novel group of Chlamydia strains in wild birds was classified as avian Chlamydia abortus, with unknown zoonotic potential. We report relevant features of avian C abortus infections from a Dutch family cluster and unrelated historical cases using clinical, epidemiological, and microbiological data.
Methods: An outbreak of avian C abortus started in the Netherlands in December, 2022.

Article Synopsis
- * A study tested 516 pet birds in Hong Kong, discovering that 0.97% were infected with C. psittaci, mostly from pet shops, highlighting potential sources of transmission.
- * Genetic analysis showed that all strains identified belonged to Genotype A and were similar to those found in various other species and locations, confirming the presence of this zoonotic pathogen in captive birds and the risks it poses to humans and wildlife.

Chlamydia psittaci is a primary zoonotic pathogen with a broad host range causing severe respiratory and reproductive system infection in animals and humans. To reduce the global burden of C. psittaci-associated diseases on animal welfare and health and to control the pathogen spread in husbandry, effective vaccines based on promising vaccine candidate(s) are required.
