## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome sequences of two Chlamydia psittaci strains from ducks and pigeons in China, highlighting their genetic differences.

## Contribution

The study provides new complete genome sequences of two C. psittaci strains with distinct ompA genotypes from avian hosts in China.

## Key findings

- The duck strain CPS-QD/LS belongs to ompA genotype A.
- The pigeon strain CPS-BY/JY belongs to ompA genotype B.

## Abstract

Chlamydia psittaci is an important zoonotic pathogen that can transmit from avian to human. Herein, we report complete genome sequences of two C. psittaci strains isolated from ducks and pigeons in China. The duck strain CPS-QD/LS was identified as ompA genotype A, while the pigeon strain CPS-BY/JY was identified as genotype B.
