    abstract = {The present investigation aimed to examine the prevalence of <I>Chlamydia</I> infection in pigs in Guangdong Province, Southern China. Between March 2008 and May 2009, a total of 1,017 serum samples were collected from 15 intensive farms, which are distributed in 12 administrative cities of Guangdong Province and assayed for <I>Chlamydia</I> antibodies by Indirect Hemagglutination Assay (IHA). The results showed that almost all of the investigated farms showed seroprevalence (93.33%, 14/15). The average seroprevalence of pigs with <I>Chlamydia</I> antibodies was 30.78% (ranged between 0-88%) with breeding boars having the highest prevalence (63.38%, 45/71), which was followed by breeding sows (41.10%, 60/146) and fattening pigs (36.25%, 29/80). These results indicated that prevalence of <I>Chlamydia</I> infection in pigs from intensive farms in Southern China is high, therefore integrated and improved control strategies and measures should be implemented to prevent and control <I>Chlamydia</I> infection in pigs.}
