| Severe conjunctivitis associated with _Chlamydia felis_ infection in a free-ranging Eurasian lynx (_Lynx lynx_) | |
| 2019 Journal of Wildlife Diseases (55): 522-525 | |
A free-ranging adult Eurasian lynx (_Lynx lynx_) captured in Switzerland presented with a severe purulent unilateral conjunctivitis. _Chlamydia felis_ was detected in conjunctival swabs by qPCR. Systemic treatment with oxytetracycline and ketoprofen led to complete recovery. Infection with _C. felis_ has not been previously reported in Eurasian lynx. |
