A number of different Chlamydia spp. have been detected in the class Amphibia with C. pneumoniae being the predominant species involved. Chlamydiae have been linked to mass mortality events, thereby representing significant pathogens that deserve attention with respect to worldwide amphibian decline. We here present six cases of chlamydiosis and asymptomatic chlamydial infections in different frog species from three ex situ amphibian conservation facilities. Clinical signs predominantly characterised by regurgitation, chronic wasting, lethargy and suspended breeding were associated with C. pneumoniae infection. Despite various treatment regimens, it was not possible to clear infections. However, intra vitam diagnostics succeeded from skin, faeces and urine for the first time.

许多不同的衣原体。已在两栖类中检测到，肺炎衣原体是所涉及的主要物种。衣原体与大规模死亡事件有关，因此代表了重要的病原体，在全球两栖动物减少方面值得关注。我们在这里展示了来自三个异地两栖动物保护设施的不同青蛙物种的六例衣原体病和无症状衣原体感染病例。主要以反流、慢性消耗、嗜睡和暂停繁殖为特征的临床症状与肺炎衣原体感染有关。尽管有各种治疗方案，但仍无法清除感染。然而，维生素 首次通过皮肤、粪便和尿液进行诊断。
