Investigation of chlamydophilosis from naturally infected cats.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chlamydophila felis, formerly known as Chlamydia psittaci var. felis, is frequently associated with ocular, respiratory, and occasionally reproduction tract infections. Even though the infection is sometimes asymptomatic, it potentially results in a latent immunosuppressive infection.

Objective

This study aimed to identify occurrences of feline chlamydophilosis, rarely reported in cats in Indonesia.

Methods

The observation was conducted in three cats with clinical signs of Cp. felis infection, particularly relapsing conjunctivitis. The cats' histories were recorded based on owners' information. Conjunctival swabs were sampled for cytology examination and molecular assay detection. A phylogenetic tree was generated using MEGA-X so
