Chlamydiae are widely distributed throughout the world, causing various disease forms in animals and humans. The most important species, which can be pathogenic for humans, are Chlamydophila psittaci, causing ornithosis-psittacosis in birds, Chlamydophila abortus, causing abortion in ruminants and Chlamydophila felis, causing upper respiratory tract infections in cats. The study presents the results of a five-year monitoring of ornithosis-psittacosis and mammals chlamydiosis in various species of animals. Altogether 46 903 blood sera were examined for the presence of antichlamydial antibodies using the complement-fixation method. Out of this number, 3 035 (6.5%) samples reacted positive. Long-term high positivity was detected in sheep, but also other animal species showed positive results
