从西非进口到美国的爪蛙（热带爪蟾）繁殖群体中，90%以上死于衣原体流行病。用光学显微镜和电子显微镜在感染蛙的肝脏中观察到衣原体包涵体。从四只青蛙的细胞培养物中分离出肺炎衣原体。在两只青蛙中观察到的一种壶菌真菌的皮肤感染可能是导致死亡的辅助因素。
More than 90% of a breeding colony of clawed frogs (Xenopus tropicalis) imported to the United States from western Africa died in an epizootic of chlamydiosis. Chlamydial inclusions we re observed by light and electron microscopy in the liver of an infected frog. Chlamydia pneumoniae was isolated in cell cultures from four frogs. A cutaneous infection by a chytridiomycete fungus observed in two frogs could have been a cofactor in the die-off.
