Abstract

ABSTRACT The koala biovar of Chlamydia pneumoniae was identified in lung tissue from a sick, free-ranging giant barred frog ( Mixophyes iteratus ) by using electron microscopy, C. pneumoniae -specific fluorescent-antibody staining, cell culture, and sequencing of the ompA , ompB and 16S rRNA genes. This is the first report of a chlamydial strain infecting both a homeotherm and a poikilotherm and only the fourth host (in addition to humans, koalas, and horses) to be naturally infected with this species of Chlamydia . The frog had severe, chronic, mononuclear pneumonia and nonregenerative anemia and pancytopenia.
