Conclusion:Our study shows that C. psittaci and Mycoplasma spp.are circulating in household birds in Thailand, which forces us to consider the importance of birds as reservoirs of various Chlamydia spp.and Mycoplasma spp.Therefore, it is important to continue surveillance of these zoonotic pathogens in the country.

Abstract

results of Mycoplasma spp.detection.Interestingly, the prevalence of Mycoplasma spp. in pet birds was high at 4 4.4 4% (16/36).Discussion: The detection rate of C. psittaci in this study is 8.61%, and birds are the popular pets that have close contact with their owners, so there is a risk of infection.Furthermore, identification of infected birds is challenging as birds can shed the bacterium without showing symptoms.To our knowledge, this study documents the first detection rate of Mycoplasma spp. in pet birds in Thailand.Further studies need to emphasize the genotyping of C. psittaci strains and it is crucial to conduct future research on the detection of pan-Mycoplasma in domestic birds in Thailand. Conclusion:Our study shows that C. psittaci and Mycoplasma spp.are circulating in household birds in Thailand, which forces us to consider the importance of birds as reservoirs of various Chlamydia spp.and Mycoplasma spp.Therefore, it is important to continue surveillance of these zoonotic pathogens in the country.
