Abstract: Chlamydia gallinacea is a recently described bacterial species in a genus known to infect and cause disease in animals and humans. Our report describes the identification of C. gallinacea infection in free‐range laying chickens (Gallus gallus) in Australia, and the identification of C. gallinacea infection in a parrot, a wild Australian galah (Eolophus roseicapillus). There is currently little knowledge of the effects of C. gallinacea infection on avian hosts, but it has been linked to respiratory disease in h… Show more

“…Pathogen transmission dynamics at the poultry-free-living bird interface are not only subject to within-host ecological and evolutionary pressures (138) but also, most importantly, are frequently bidirectional in nature (27,139,140). The establishment of "open-air" or "free-range" poultry habitats that overlap with wild bird habitats is a key step in the loss of sympatric species contact barriers, which may facilitate the transmission of opportunistic microbes (132,(141)(142)(143).…”

“…Besides Cpec and Cps, a recent study detected Protochlamydia amoebophila in a cow; novel chlamydial sequences highly related to C. suis and C. trachomatis as well as novel lineages closely related to Protochlamydia species in horses; and uncultured chlamydiae that may represent a novel family-level lineage that lies between the Parachlamydiaceae and Chlamydiaceae families in free-range deer (Figure 2A) [88]. Similarly, despite its global distribution in avian and livestock hosts, C. gallinacea in Australian birds has only recently been identified in cloacal samples from 36 chickens, and in one sample from a female galah with healthy appearance [141]. In both studies, domesticated animal and wildlife habitats overlap making cross-host transmission plausible.…”

“…Wild birds serve as an important reservoir not only for C. psittaci but also for several other chlamydial species. To date, eleven Chlamydia species have been detected in birds [3,[6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
