Compendium of Measures To Control Chlamydia psittaci Infection Among Humans
(Psittacosis) and Pet Birds (Avian Chlamydiosis), 2000
Chlamydia psittaci is a bacterium that can be transmitted from pet birds to
humans. In humans, the resulting infection is referred to as psittacosis
(also known as parrot fever, and ornithosis). Psittacosis often causes
influenza-like symptoms and can lead to severe pneumonia and nonrespiratory
health problems.
In this report, C. psittaci infection in birds is referred to as avian
chlamydiosis (AC). C. psittaci has been isolated from approximately 100 bird
species and is most commonly identified in psittacine (parrot-type) birds,
especially cockatiels and parakeets. Among caged, nonpsittacine birds,
infection with C. psittaci occurs most frequently in pigeons, doves, and
mynah birds. Disease in canaries and finches is less frequently diagnosed.
Transmission
Because several diseases affecting humans can be caused by other species of
Chlamydia, the disease resulting from the infection of humans with C.
psittaci is referred to as psittacosis. Most C. psittaci infections in
humans result from exposure to pet psittacine birds. However, transmission
has been documented from free-ranging birds, including doves, pigeons, birds
of prey, and shore birds. Infection with C. psittaci usually occurs when a
person inhales the organism, which has been aerosolized from dried feces or
respiratory secretions of infected birds. Other means of exposure include
mouth-to-beak contact and the handling of infected birds' plumage and
tissues. Even brief exposures can lead to symptomatic infection; therefore,
some patients with psittacosis may not recall or report having any contact
with birds.
INFECTION AMONG BIRDS (AVIAN CHLAMYDIOSIS)
Transmission
C. psittaci is excreted in the feces and nasal discharges of infected birds.
The organism is resistant to drying and can remain infectious for several
months. If infected, birds can appear healthy and shed the organism
intermittently. Shedding may be activated by stress factors, including
shipping, crowding, chilling, and breeding.
