摘要: With its long recorded history, high global prevalence, and potential for causing partial or total blindness, trachoma ranks as one of the major afflictions humanity (Bietti, 1974; Jones, 1975; Locatcher-Khorazo Seegal, 1972; Nataf, 1952; Thygeson, 1971). The principal etiological agent is an intracellular parasitic prokaryote, currently assigned to genus Chlamydia (Becker, 1974, 1978; Moulder, 1964, 1966; Page, 1968; Storz, 1971; E. Weiss, species designation organism C. trachomatis (Page, 1968). Various serotypes also cause, besides trachoma-inclusion conjunctivitis (TRIC), some cases nongonococcal Urethritis Cervicitis (Dunlop, Fritsch et al., 1910; Hobson Holmes, 1977; Jones 1964; Lindner, Oriel Richmond Sparling, 1976; Schachter 1976), infant pneumonia (Beem Saxon, Frommell 1975), lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) (Abrams, Meyer, 1953; Rake 1942; Willcox, 1975). Organisms psittaci are distinguished by their failure store glycogen during growth Gordon Quan, 1965; Jenkin Fan, 1971): divers strains cause ornithosis (Bedson, 1958) various diseases in nonhuman mammals, such pneumonia, encephalitis, conjunctivitis, enteritis, abortion, polyarthritis (Storz,
