Host Adaptation of Chlamydia pecorum towards Low Virulence Evident in Co-Evolution of the ompA, incA, and ORF663 Loci

Chlamydia (C.) pecorum, an obligate intracellular bacterium, may cause severe diseases in ruminants, swine and koalas, although asymptomatic infections are the norm. Recently, we identified genetic polymorphisms in the ompA, incA and ORF663 genes that potentially differentiate between high-virulence...
