鹦鹉热嗜衣原体（Chlamecophila psittaci，C. psittaci）是一种与鸟类全身性消耗性疾病相关的鸟类病原体，也是一种公共卫生风险。虽然有与鸭相关的鹦鹉热病例报道，但鹦鹉热在鸭中的致病性和脱落状态尚不清楚。在这项研究中，我们报告了鹦鹉热（基因型A）是负责疾病爆发的特点是产蛋性能差，在多个器官的严重病变。口服抗生素强力霉素能有效控制蛋鸭鹦鹉热的感染。总的来说，我们的新发现提供了证据，证明鹦鹉热是导致这种疾病在鸭子中爆发的主要病原体。为了减少该病的经济损失，必须采取有效的控制措施，防止蛋鸭场的感染。
Chlamydophila psittaci (C. psittaci) is an avian pathogen associated with systemic wasting disease in birds, as well as a public health risk. Although duck-related cases of psittacosis have been reported, the pathogenicity and shedding status of C. psittaci in ducks are unclear. In this study, we reported that C. psittaci (genotype A) is responsible for a disease outbreak characterized by poor laying performance and severe lesions in multiple organs of ducks. Oral administration of antibiotic, doxycycline, was found to effectively control the C. psittaci infection in laying ducks. Collectively, our new findings provide evidence that C. psittaci was the major pathogen responsible for the outbreak of this disease in ducks. In order to reduce economic losses incurred by this disease, effective control measures must be taken to prevent infection in laying duck farms.
