''Chlamydophila caviae'' is a bacterium that can be recovered from the conjunctiva of Guinea pigs suffering from ocular inflammation and eye discharge. It is also possible to infect the genital tract of Guinea pigs with ''C. caviae'' and elicit a disease that is very similar to human Chlamydia trachomatis infection. ''C. caviae'' infects primarily the mucosal epithelium and is not invasive. ''C. caviae'' is markedly specific for Guinea pigs, as attempts to infect mice, hamsters, rabbits and gerbils have been unsuccessful, except for one experimentally infected gerbil. The five known ''C. caviae'' isolates are indistinguishable, based on ompA gene sequence. ==Genome structure== ''C. caviae'' has a relativelly small genome that contains 1.17 Mbp with 998 protein coding genes. Additionally, ''C. caviae'' strain GPIC contains an extrachromosomal plasmid, pCpGP1.
