Human psittacosis in Japan: notification trends and differences in infection source and age distribution by gender, 2007 to 2016.

CONCLUSIONS: We found important differences in the epidemiology of psittacosis by gender, and the recent decrease in notifications correlated with decreasing C. psittaci prevalence in birds. Risk communications for psittacosis should consider the current epidemiology regarding gender, age, and infection source. PMID: 32253059 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
