Popis: The prevalence of Chlamydia psittaci was determined in psittacine birds dying or wasting soon after importation. During the past 3 years from 1981 to 1983, C. psittaci was isolated from 70.5% (266/377) of the psittacines examined. The yearly chlamydial isolation rate was 77.5% (131/169) in 1981, 49.1% (27/55) in 1982 and 70.6% (108/153) in 1983. The parakeets, Psittacula krameri manillensis, Psittacula cyanocephala and Psittacula alexandri fasciate and parrot, Amazona aestiva yield the most number of chlamydia-positive birds.
