Abstract

ABSTRACT In many cities, the feral rock dove is an abundant bird species that can harbor Chlamydophila psittaci . We determined the prevalence and genotype of C. psittaci in fresh fecal samples from feral pigeons in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The prevalence was 7.9% overall (26/331; 95% confidence interval, 5 to 11). Ten genotyped PCR-positive samples were all genotype B.
