Chlamydiosis (also known as enzootic abortion in ewes or EAE) is caused by the bacteria Chlamydophila abortus. It is the most commonly diagnosed cause of abortion in UK sheep1, costing the UK sheep industry up to £20 million annually2.
Infection is primarily spread through the aborted material and reproductive fluids of infected ewes and bacteria can be shed for up to 3 weeks after abortion3.
Vaccination against the disease is the best way to reduce the risk of abortion and the associated production losses.
