The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of <jats:italic>C. psittaci<\/jats:italic> in faecal samples of feral pigeons (<jats:italic>Columba livia<\/jats:italic> forma <jats:italic>urbana<\/jats:italic>) as a potential source of infection related to the presence of synanthropic birds in urban areas. A total of 143 samples of dry and fresh faeces of feral pigeons, were collected in the city of Lublin (Poland), from April to September 2021. Molecular detection of <jats:italic>C. psittaci<\/jats:italic> was performed by nested-PCR and real-time PCR, confirmed by sequencing. Among the collected samples, 5 positive results were obtained in nested-PCR (3.5%), while in real-time PCR, the number of positive samples increased to 11 (7.7%). The positive samples showed 100% identity to the <jats:italic>C. psittaci<\/jats:italic> strain AMK (CP047319.1). <jats:italic>C. psittaci<\/jats:italic> was found in 7 out of 111 (6.3%) faecal samples collected in public places, and in 4 out of 32 (12.5%) samples from the nesting site (4.9% and 2.8% among a total of 143 samples, respectively). The infection was detected in both dry and fresh faeces (9.1% and 4.5%, respectively). The highest number of positive results was obtained in June\u20145 (3.5%). Feral pigeons occurring in urban areas are a natural reservoir of <jats:italic>C. psittaci<\/jats:italic> posing a potential risk of zoonotic infections. However, further studies on exposure to contaminated pigeon faeces in terms of occupational and non-occupational risk of chlamydiosis are needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00284-022-03072-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,17]],"date-time":"2022-10-17T19:02:37Z","timestamp":1666033357000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Chlamydia psittaci in Faecal Samples of Feral Pigeons (Columba livia forma urbana) in Urban Areas of Lublin city, Poland"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"79","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4061-9890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Kowalczyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5260-4867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angelina","family":"W\u00f3jcik-Fatla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"3072_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.2478\/jvetres-2020-0077","volume":"64","author":"K Zar\u0119ba-Marchewka","year":"2020","unstructured":"Zar\u0119ba-Marchewka K, Szyma\u0144ska-Czerwi\u0144ska M, Niemczuk K (2020) Chlamydiae\u2014what\u2019s new?
