Chlamydia pecorum, also known as Chlamydophila pecorum [2] [3] is a species of Chlamydiaceae that originated from ruminants, such as cattle, sheep and goats. [4] It has also infected koalas and swine. [5] C. pecorum strains are serologically and pathogenically diverse. [6]

Contents

In the koalas, C. pecorum causes infections in the reproductive systems and urinary tract, as well as pneumonia, infertility, and death. [7] It is considered one of the most important infectious diseases that currently plagues koalas. [8] [9] [10] C. pecorum is the most common chlamydial species to infect koalas and is the most pathogenic. [11] In other animals, C. pecorum has been associated with abortion, conjunctivitis, encephalomyelitis, enteritis, arthritis, and polyarthritis. [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]
