hello everyone welcome to our new video
there is about a parent disease called
psittacosis psittacosis is a type of
zoonotic disease that is caused by a
bacterium Chlamydia CTC this disease is
usually transferred from parents to
human inhuman the disease causes mild
flu-like symptoms and lung infection
other names for this disease are parent
disease or any ptosis and clear mitosis
psittacosis was first reported in 1929
when it was observed to be transmitted
from a parent to human that the disease
was named as parrot disease the disease
is usually caused by infected parents
like cocktails macaws and virtually
caused however there are other words
involved in transmission of the disease
that includes sparrows pigeons hens
ducks girls and many other species of
birds in scientific community the name
psittacosis is used when the carrier
bird on the disease belongs to the
family citizen however the term only
thoses is used for the disease carried
by the bird belong to any other family
now let's talk about the infectious
agent of the disease the infectious
agent for the psittacosis is an obligate
intracellular bacterium named as
chlamydia CTC that belongs to the genus
chlamydia let's see how psittacosis is
transmitted psittacosis is transmitted
from birds to human when a person inhale
in the air contaminated with the urine
feces or any other body excretion of an
infected bird the disease can also be
transmitted if the bird touches its beak
with your mouth
both domestic and white words can be
involved in transmission of the disease
the disease transfer from human to human
is quite rare but not completely
impossible an infected person can't
transmit the zeta causes disease to
others through coughing droplet if other
breed in the same ear now let's talk
about the signs and symptoms of theta
causes in verbs città causes infection
in the birds can be acute or latent
incubation period of this disease ranges
from three days to several weeks
incubation period is actually a time
when a bird is first exposed to the
infectious agent and till the onset of
signs and symptoms some of the signs
that appear in an infected birds include
poor appetite weight loss diarrhea
sleepiness inflamed eyes discharge from
eyes or nose breathing difficulty
shivering discharge of urine or feces in
various shades of green the murder
infected with psittacosis can also
exhibit latent infection in latent
infection the bird looks healthy and
doesn't show any signs or symptoms but
it remained carrier of the infectious
agent the infectious agent that is
claimed idea ckz bacteria is shared
intermittently or continuously from the
bird through feces or nasal discharge
this shaded Victoria remain active for
several months and able to transmit
disease to other birds and humans now
let's talk about the signs and symptoms
of seta causes in humans in humans the
incubation period of four to 15 days is
usually observed for infection however
in most of the cases the symptoms appear
after 10 days
in humans it Acosta's infection is
associated with the following symptoms
fever headache chill
Drako joint pain malaise muscle itches
weakness nausea vomiting diarrhea loss
of appetite intolerance to light now
let's see what happens in the case of
complications of theta causes the
complications may cause liver
inflammation joint inflammation
inflammation of here'd muscle
endocarditis brain inflammation however
the federal cases reported from
psittacosis are less than 1% now let's
see how psittacosis can be diagnosed
psittacosis is such a rare disease that
it is not usually suspected by the
doctor if a person owns a pet or work in
a pet shop poultry or any other
veterinarian of this he should always be
aware of the chances of zoonotic
diseases there are different tests that
are recommended to diagnose theta causes
initial diagnosis can be carried through
observing signs and symptoms however
various antigens antibodies associate
his tests are required to be done for
the confirmation blood and sputum
cultures are usually collected from a
patient to culture the infectious agent
that can confirm the causative agent of
the disease the presence of infectious
agent can also be confirmed through
polymerase chain reaction for the exact
diagnosis a combination of various tests
are required since it causes is a lung
infection therefore chest x-rays are
also carried out to observe pneumonia
like infection that is usually
associated with this disease now let's
talk about
the treatment of Sita causes one
psittacosis is diagnosed the disease can
be treated by oral administration of
antibiotics doxycycline or tetracycline
the symptoms may disappear within a few
days however the antibiotics is
illustrated from 10 to 14 days to
prevent the relapse of infection in
older or weak people the treatment can
be slower it is also important to take
the back to the veterinary doctor for
the proper treatment and seek the proper
