“…fruit bats) are known reservoirs for zoonotic viruses, including Hendra virus, Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV), and Menangle virus [ 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Hendra virus spill-over transmission from flying foxes to horses occurs annually, including recently in the Upper Hunter Valley of NSW, a major Thoroughbred breeding centre [ 33 , 34 , 35 ]. Overseas studies have observed a prevalence of 31.4% of Chlamydiales in free-ranging and captive bats from a range of families in the Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera bat suborders [ 36 ], but no data currently exist on chlamydial infections in Australian bats.…”

Chlamydia Psittaci ST24: Clonal Strains of One Health Importance Dominate in Australian Horse, Bird and Human Infections

et al. 2021

Chlamydia psittaci is traditionally regarded as a globally distributed avian pathogen that can cause zoonotic spill-over. Molecular research has identified an extended global host range and significant genetic diversity. However, Australia has reported a reduced host range (avian, horse, and human) with a dominance of clonal strains, denoted ST24. To better understand the widespread of this strain type in Australia, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and ompA genotyping were applied on samples from a range of hosts (avian, equine, marsupial, and bovine) from Australia. MLST confirms that clonal ST24 strains dominate infections of Australian psittacine and equine hosts (82/88; 93.18%). However, this study also found novel hosts (Australian white ibis, King parrots, racing pigeon, bovine, and a wallaby) and demonstrated that strain diversity does exist in Australia. The discovery of a C. psittaci novel strain (ST306) in a novel host, the Western brush wallaby, is the first detection in a marsupial. Analysis of the results of this study applied a multidisciplinary approach regarding Chlamydia infections, equine infectious disease, ecology, and One Health. Recommendations include an update for the descriptive framework of C. psittaci disease and cell biology work to inform pathogenicity and complement molecular epidemiology.

“…Urine, blood, feces, nasal discharge, and saliva of flying foxes served as sources of oro-nasal infection of horses (Eaton et al, 2006). Transmission of HeV between horses occurs infrequently, and humans are infected by direct contact with horses (Khusro et al, 2020;Williamson et al, 1998). However, direct transmission from bats to humans has never been observed.…”

“…Transmission occurs through urine, saliva, fluids, or bats. [158] Lyme disease Borrelia burgdorferi Lyme disease is transferred to animals and humans through tick bites. Borrelia burgdorferi is not a free‐living organism, and it maintains a zoonotic life cycle in mammals or ticks.…”
