Because a keeper in Copenhagen ZOO had developed ornithosis, clinical and serological examination of the staff of the ZOO was instituted. The object was to demonstrate any possible threatening epidemic and also to demonstrate if the staff of the ZOO were particularly exposed to the risk of ornithosis. Neither of these could be confirmed.

Purpose: To present the different findings of Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) pneumonia on computed tomography (CT) according to the progression of the disease, to improve diagnostic accuracy, guide early clinical diagnosis, evaluate treatment efficacy, and reduce the mortality associated with the disease.
Methods: In total, 80 cases of C.

Pigeons are associated with zoonotic pathogens such as Chlamydia psittaci, the main causative agent of avian chlamydiosis, and related to psittacosis cases in humans worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of C. psittaci in feral pigeons (Columba livia) and environmental samples from places frequented by pigeons in a Brazilian hospital area.

Article Synopsis
- Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia cases are rising and can lead to severe respiratory issues, complicating diagnosis due to ineffective detection methods.
- A study of 61 pneumonia cases in China classified them into severe and non-severe groups to analyze differences in symptoms, lab results, and treatment.
- Results indicated fever as a key symptom, with elevated CRP and PCT levels being notable, while doxycycline is identified as the preferred treatment for severe cases.
Comparison of clinical, laboratory and radiological characteristics between COVID-19 and Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia: a multicenter retrospective study.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, National Key Clinical Specialty, Branch of National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Disease, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, 410008, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compares Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia (CPP) and COVID-19, revealing that both share similar outbreak patterns and symptoms but have distinct clinical manifestations.
- - Key differences include a higher incidence of nervous system symptoms and worse inflammatory indicators in CPP patients, along with a tougher prognosis reflected in higher mortality and severe pneumonia rates.
- - A nomogram was developed based on five risk factors—nervous system symptoms, lymphocytes, creatine kinase levels, bilateral lung lesions, and ground-glass opacity—to effectively distinguish CPP from COVID-19, achieving a high concordance index of 0.989.

Avian chlamydiosis is a serious avian infection that carries a significant zoonotic danger to the poultry industry. The respiratory co-infections caused by the low pathogenic avian influenza virus H9N2 (LPAIV H9N2) also cause significant financial losses in the poultry industry. The purpose of this study was to examine the pathogenicity of Chlamydophila psittaci, and LPAIV H9N2 individually and in combination in broiler chickens, as well as to determine whether or not aqueous neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract is effective against infections caused by these pathogens.
