Resumen

Los columbidos de vida libre son el segundo reservorio más grande de Chlamydia psittaci, que transmite el agente a humanos y animales. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar la presencia de Chlamydia spp. en muestras de pulmón y heces de palomas domésticas de vida libre (Columba livia domestica), capturados en el Parque Natural Mangal das Garças en Belém, Pará, Brasil, usando la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa semi-anidada y correlacionando los hallazgos clínicos y post-mortem de animales positivos para Chlamydia spp. Entre los 45 animales evaluados, 10 (22,2%) fueron positivos para Chlamydia spp .; los hallazgos positivos fueron de 5 (50%) muestras de pulmón y 5 (50%) de muestras de heces, sin superposición entre los animales y la muestra. Ninguno de los animales evaluados en este estudio mostró signos clínicos de clamidiosis; en cambio, los hallazgos de animales positivos solo se encontraron durante la necropsia, principalmente con alteraciones pulmonares, hepáticas, esplénicas e intestinales. Estos hallazgos demostraron que las palomas de vida libre pueden ser reservorios de Chlamydia spp. y transmitir el agente silenciosamente a humanos y animales, lo que sería de preocupación para la salud pública y animal, ya que estas aves se encuentran fácilmente cohabitando en áreas urbanas con humanos, otras especies de aves y otros animales.
