The fluorescein-biotin labelled PCR products were immobilized on streptavidin-coated microtiter plates and detected with anti-fluorescein peroxidase conjugate and a colorimetric substrate.
An internal inhibition control was included to rule out the presence of inhibitors of DNA amplification. Twenty-nine The present study stresses the need for an internal control to confirm PCR true-negatives and demonstrates the high prevalence of chlamydiosis in Belgian turkeys and its potential zoonotic risk.

Avian chlamydiosis is caused by the obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci formerly Chlamydia psittaci.
Currently, seven genotypes of Cp. Avian chlamydiosis in birds is usually systemic and occasionally fatal. The clinical signs vary greatly in severity and depend on the species, age of the bird and the strain of Cp.

Avian chlamydiosis can produce lethargy, hyperthermia, abnormal excretions, nasal and eye discharges, and reduced egg production. Avian chlamydiosis occurs worldwide, with the incidence and distribution varying greatly with the species of bird and the serotype of the chlamydial organism.
