It has been suggested that polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmps) belonging to the Type V autotransporter protein family play an important role in the pathogenesis of Chlamydia abortus (C. abortus; formerly Chlamydophila abortus) infection. In a previo... Read More about Expression patterns of five polymorphic membrane proteins during the Chlamydia abortus developmental cycle.

Processing of Chlamydia abortus polymorphic membrane protein 18D during the chlamydial developmental cycle (2012)
Journal Article
Wheelhouse, N. M., Sait, M., Aitchison, K., Livingstone, M., Wright, F., McLean, K., …Longbottom, D. (2012). Processing of Chlamydia abortus polymorphic membrane protein 18D during the chlamydial developmental cycle. PLOS ONE, 7, Article e49190. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0049190

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia possess a unique family of autotransporter proteins known as the Polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmps). While the total number of pmp genes varies between Chlamydia species, all encode a single pmpD gene. In both Chlamydia tracho...

Evaluation of the impact and control of enzootic abortion of ewes (2012)
Journal Article
Longbottom, D., Entrican, G., Wheelhouse, N., Brough, H., & Milne, C. (2013). Evaluation of the impact and control of enzootic abortion of ewes. Veterinary Journal, 195(2), 257-259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2012.06.018

Despite the availability of effective management and treatment strategies, Chlamydia abortus remains the single most frequently diagnosed cause of infectious ovine abortion (enzootic abortion of ewes, EAE) in the UK and one of the most significant ca...

Involvement of Parachlamydia in bovine abortions in Scotland (2012)
Journal Article
Howie, F., Gidlow, J., Greub, G., Wheelhouse, N., Dagleish, M., & Longbottom, D. (2012). Involvement of Parachlamydia in bovine abortions in Scotland. Veterinary Journal, 193(2), 586-588. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2012.01.008

Bovine abortion represents a major animal welfare issue and a cause of substantial economic loss yet the rate of successful diagnosis remains low. Chlamydia-related organisms including Parachlamydia have recently emerged as putative cattle abortifaci... Read More about Involvement of Parachlamydia in bovine abortions in Scotland.
