CHLAMYDIA SPP. KARAKUL SHEEP

Abstract

The article describes the results of infectious pathology of chlamydia in ewes and lambs. The disease affects sheep and young animals. In adult sheep, the disease is accompanied by abortions, in lambs and young animals by enteritis, pneumonia, polyarthritis. Sometimes the disease is accompanied by mass abortions of queens, premature births and the birth of weak lambs, which die in the first days of life or remain embryos due to poor development. Chlamydia in aborted ewes and young animals was also detected by serological studies of blood serum, using RSC (hemagglutination reaction) and HAI (hemagglutination inhibition test).
