Chlamydiae are a group of obligate intracellular bacteria comprising important human and
animal pathogens as well as symbionts of ubiquitous protists. They are characterized by a …

Epitheliocystis is a skin and gill disease in fish caused by pathogenic intracellular bacteria.
The disease has been reported in at least 90 species of marine and freshwater fish in both …

We here present annotated lists of names of Candidatus taxa of prokaryotes with ranks
between subspecies and class, proposed between the mid-1990s, when the provisional …

Chlamydiae are highly successful strictly intracellular bacteria associated with diverse
eukaryotic hosts. Here we analyzed metagenome-assembled genomes of the “Genomes …

In the era of metagenomics and amplicon sequencing, comprehensive analyses of available
sequence data remain a challenge. Here we describe an approach exploiting metagenomic …

Aquaculture is a burgeoning industry, requiring diversification into new farmed species,
which are often at risk from infectious disease. We used a mesocosm technique to …

The Chlamydiales order is composed of obligate intracellular bacteria and includes the
Chlamydiaceae family and several family-level lineages called Chlamydia-related bacteria …

Chlamydial infections of fish are emerging as an important cause of disease in new and
established aquaculture industries. To date, epitheliocystis, a skin and gill disease …

The Chlamydiales order is composed of nine families of strictly intracellular bacteria. Among
