Overview
Bird owners, pet shop employees, persons who work in poultry processing plants, and veterinarians are at increased risk for this infection. Typical birds involved are parrots, parakeets, and budgerigars, although other animals documented with C. psittaci infection include horses,[1] cattle,[2] and koalas.[3]
Risk Factors
Psittacosis is acquired from birds so the person working in the poultry is at higher risk. Other risk factor include:
- Pet shop owners
- Handling of sick birds
- Bird bites
- Visiting a bird park
- Contact of beak to mouth
