Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the occurrence of Chlamydia in 4 species of wild birds (50 domestic quails, 40 migratory quails, 30 doves and 25 tree sparrows) and 4 species of pet birds, (20 Budgerigars, 10 cockatiels, 3 finches, 5 love birds). The percentage of detection post staining with Giemsa from wild birds (Tree sparrow, Doves, Domestic quails and migratory quails) were (64%), (76.6%), (72%) and (85%) birds, respectively, While the percentage of detection from pet birds, (Budgerigars, love birds, finches and cockatiels) was (85%), (80%), (100%) and (80%) birds, respectively.
Detection of Chlamydophila Psittaci in liver of wild birds was higher than other organs the percentage was (60%), (73%), (66%) and (60%) in tree sparrows, dove, domestic quails and migratory quails, respectively
Impression smears from lungs showed high incidence of Chlamydophila psittaci (65%), (60%), (60%) and (48%) in migratory quails, domestic quails, doves and tree sparrows. While, Chlamydophila psittaci from heart smears showed lower ratio in all species than liver and lungs were (40%), (46%), (50%), and (50%) in tree sparrows , dove domestic quails and migratory quails.
Detection of Chlamydophila Psittaci in liver of pet birds (budgerigars, love birds, finches, and cockatiels) were (75%), (80%), (100%) and (70%), respectively. While from lungs of the same birds, the results were (50%), (66%), (66.6%) and (60%) respectively.
