Sažetak
The order Chlamydiales consists of a diverse groups of organisms of considerable importance to both animal and human health and of major economic importance worldwide. Chlamydioses affect humans, most domestic mammals and birds. Infections caused by these bacteria are widespread all over the world. When looking for possible sources of infections among humans, the species Chlamydophila psittaci, Chlamydophila felis and Chlamydophila abortus, as well as other bacteria from the genus Chlamydiphila have been isolated from different species of domestic and wild animals. Zoonotic diseases caused by these micro organisms are the consequence of a direct contact with domestic, wild and synantropic animals that are either affected or already dead. This helps us to understand new epidemiological facts and risks for humans of being infected by these bacteria from animals, in particular by from pets. By reviewing papers on incidence of chlamydial infections among animals and humans, we aim to reach a better understanding of new microbiological classifications of Chlamydia and give a special view on relationships between Chlamydia and their hosts.
