Experimental infection of baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis) with Chlamydia pneumoniae strain 'TWAR'
The Journal of Infection
|July 1, 1989
Abstract:
Two infant baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis) were inoculated with Chlamydia pneumoniae strain 'TWAR', one in the conjunctiva, nasopharynx and oropharynx, the other in the trachea. Both remained well during 8 weeks of observation. C. pneumoniae infection persisted for at least 8 weeks after inoculation. Chlamydia pneumoniae seems to be of low virulence in baboons and capable of causing chronic infection.
