Application of Polymerase Chain Reaction to the Direct Diagnosis of Abortive Chlamydiosis (<em>Chlamydophila abortus</em> and <em>Chlamydophila pecorum</em>) of Sheep and Goats in Morocco

In order to improve the direct diagnosis of abortive chlamydiosis in small ruminants, 225 vaginal swabs collected from aborting sheep and goats were tested for Chlamydophila DNA by two types of polymerase chain reactions (PCR): chlamydial-infection specific PCR (CTU/CTL), and speciesspecific PCR (CP...
