The contents of this special issue attempt to specifically asddress some of the objectives of the Action, particularly with regard to: - the assessment of zoonotic risks associated with animal chlamydioses from a European perspective, - the development, evaluation and harmonisation of new and existing diagnostic methods to enable epidemiological data to be gathered on a pan-Eureopan scal, and - the quest for a better understanding of the host immune response to infection and disease pathogenesis to enable the rational design of improved diagnostics and vaccines, as well as the recommendation of efficient control measures.
