Abstract
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was evaluated as a diagnostic tool for detection of Chlamydia (C.) psittaci in abortion material from 40 ewes. For this purpose, PCR results of 87 samples were compared with direct microscopic identification after chemical staining, cell culture isolation and a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The value for sensitivity as compared to cell culture was 97.7% whereas the specificity-value was calculated to be 84.1%.Entities:
