摘要

鹦鹉热衣原体是一种导致鸟粪病或鹦鹉热的病原体，可感染归巢和野生鸟类、哺乳动物和人类。由于这种疾病是一种重要的人畜共患疾病，具有致命性并在世界范围内分布，因此了解其发生情况很重要。本研究旨在调查葡萄牙三家动物园的三只鹦鹉螺标本中鹦鹉螺衣原体的血清阳性率。在这项研究中，使用了112份属于Psitaciformes目的鹦鹉螺的血液样本（包括14属31种）。使用商业ELISA试剂盒（Immunocomb®，Biogal）对这些样品进行测试。用ELISA法对鹦鹉螺样品进行血清学检测，结果显示54只阳性（48.2%；95%置信区间，CI:39.0-57.4%）。Ara属的血清阳性率明显高于其他属（P<0.05）。根据本研究的血清学数据，我们证明这些受试动物的血液中循环着针对鹦鹉螺衣原体的抗体。由于鹦鹉热是一个公共卫生问题，因此应考虑这些结果的人畜共患问题。

Serological evidence of Chlamydia psittaci in psittacines in three zoological parks in Portugal

Chlamydia psittaci is an agent that causes ornithosis or psittacosis, which can infect homing and wild birds, mammalian animals and humans. Since this disease is an important zoonosis that is fatal and distributed worldwide, it is important to know its occurrence. This study aimed to survey the seropositivity of Chlamydia psittaci in three psittacine collections in three zoos in Portugal. In this study, 112 blood samples of the psittacine belonging to Order Psitaciformes (encompassing 31 species from 14 genera) were used. These samples were tested using a commercial ELISA kit (Immunocomb®, Biogal). The serological examination of psittacine samples using ELISA showed that 54 were positive (48.2%; 95% confidence interval, CI: 39.0-57.4%). The genus Ara exhibited significantly higher seropositivity than other genera (P<0.05). Based on the serological data from this study, we demonstrate that antibodies against Chlamydia psittaci are circulating in the blood of these tested animals. Since psittacosis is a public health concern, zoonotic issues of these results should be considered.
