Abstract

A reverse passive haemagglutination test (RPH) has previously been developed to detect the genus-specific antigen of Chlamydia. Clinical samples were obtained from various sites of different animal species. The RPH test detected chlamydial antigen from clinical cases of conjunctivitis in cats, abortion in sheep and psittacosis in birds. Although not as sensitive as cell culture isolation, this test has the advantages of rapidity and of dtecting antigen from dead chlamydiae.
