Abstract

We report here the whole-genome sequence of the Chlamydia psittaci NRM_5 strain isolated from the fecal samples of wild Indian ring-necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri manillensis) in Japan. The sequence type is ST35, which is known to be associated with pigeons and doves, indicating the potential for transmission among bird species.

Keywords: Chlamydia psittaci; ST-35; allocated bird pathogen; ring-necked parakeet.
