Chlamydia in cases of bovine abortion in Ireland

Wheelhouse, Nicholas; Longbottom, David; O'Donovan, Jim

Abstract

We report the findings of a preliminary investigation into chlamydial involvement in cases of bovine abortion in Ireland. Chlamydia abortus has long been recognised as a known major cause of ruminant abortion. However, several newly recognised species of Chlamydia-related organisms have emerged as putative cattle abortifacients.
