Psittacosis, commonly known as parrot fever, is a contagious disease spread from birds to people, and public health officials are monitoring potential exposures [[1]]. Caused by the bacterium *Chlamydophila psittaci*, the illness typically presents as a mild, flu-like respiratory infection but can develop into more serious pneumonia [[3]]. This report details how the disease spreads and why understanding transmission is vital, especially for those in contact with pet birds or poultry [[2]].
Psittacosis, a disease transmitted from animals to humans, is caused by the bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci, commonly found in birds and poultry. Infection occurs through inhalation of airborne particles contaminated with the bacteria from dried droppings, feathers, or secretions. Understanding how this disease spreads is crucial for public health, particularly for individuals who work with or are frequently around birds.
