Description
Jiewen Wang and co-workers review a bacterium that infects birds and can also infect people, in a 2024 paper. The germ causes disease in birds and a lung illness called psittacosis in humans. It lives inside cells and has a two-stage life cycle.
Spread is mainly between birds, though jumps to other species occur, and human-to-human spread has now been confirmed. The review covers types of the germ, how it interacts with hosts, and how it spreads. It also covers detection, signs of illness, treatment, and prevention. The authors aim to give a clear base on the germ and fresh thought on cross-species spread.
