[Isolation of chlamydia in keratoconjunctivitis]

D Ognianov, M Panova, G A Genchev

    Veterinarno-Meditsinski Nauki
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers identified Chlamydia (neorickettsia) in calves with infectious keratoconjunctivitis. This bacterium was also found in a dog, indicating a potential zoonotic link in ocular infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Ophthalmology
    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Infectious keratoconjunctivitis is a significant ocular disease in cattle.
    • Previous research has not extensively detailed the causative agents in acute cases.

    Purpose:

    • To identify the causative agent of infectious keratoconjunctivitis in calves.
    • To investigate the presence of related pathogens in other animal species.

    Summary:

    • Two isolates of Chlamydia (neorickettsia) were identified from lacrimal secretions of calves with acute infectious keratoconjunctivitis.
    • Complement-fixing antibodies were detected in surviving calves, indicating an immune response.
    • Experimental infection of a rabbit with an isolated strain induced acute keratoconjunctivitis and antibody production.
    • A similar neorickettsial strain was isolated from a dog with serofibrinous keratoconjunctivitis, a rare finding.

    Impact:

    • This study identifies a novel bacterial agent associated with bovine infectious keratoconjunctivitis.
    • The findings suggest a potential role for Chlamydia (neorickettsia) in animal ocular diseases.
    • The isolation from a dog highlights the need for further investigation into potential zoonotic transmission of ocular pathogens.
