Besides Cp. abortus, Cp. pecorum and Chlamydia (C.) suis can all cause reproductive failure. Unlike in small ruminants, chlamydiosis usually occurs as a sporadic event. In swine, the disease has several clinical manifestations (e.g. abortion, endometritis, vaginitis, vulval discharge) and is considered a multifactorial disease. In both small ruminants and swine, males can also get infected and then become diseased, and may shed Chlamydiae with their semen.
