Summary. According to the current classification adopted at the 2^nd European Symposium on Animal Chlamydiosis and Zoonotic Implications (EMAC‑2), pathogens causing chlamydioses in cats and rodents are Chlamydia genus bacteria of the three species: C. felis, C. caviae and C. muridarum. Three PCR test systems were developed for indication and species differentiation of the said bacteria. The basis for the developed diagnostics is the design and synthesis of three oligonucleotide primers pairs, flanking specific fragments of the chlamydial MOMP gene DNA pathogenic to cats and rodents. Analytical specificity of the developed PCR test systems is confirmed by the results of 13 biological materials samples amplification, the total of 13 ones being chlamydia-containing, namely: 4 samples contain C. felis, one — C. caviae, and one — C. muridarum. In addition to Chlamydia, DNA samples were taken from Leptospira and Babesia.

Keywords: cats, guinea pigs, mouse rodents, PCR-test system, species differentiation, Chlamydia felis, Chlamydia caviae, Chlamydia muridarum
