Psittacosis is one of the most common cause of disease and death in prakeets, parrots and many other birds. Also birds may infect and disease humans and other animals. It is therefor important to control this very contagious disease as good as possible.
The infectio is happening by direct contact of droppings, tears or snot, but also as dust in the air. This make infections so hard to control.
By using the new Chlamydia test from AvianLabs the disease can now be identified easy, reliable, quick and at little cost.
The bacteria is often concentrated in the droppings, the tears, snot, or other secrets.
The test procedure is easy to carry out, and the result is visible in a few minutes time.
All positive findings must be treated.
