chlamydian.

Brit.

/kləˈmɪdɪə/, U.S.

/kləˈmɪdiə/

Forms: Also Chlamydia. Plural chlamydiæ, chlamydias.

Etymology: modern Latin, < Greek χλαμύς , χλαμύδ- mantle + -ia suffix¹.

1. Biology and Medicine. A virus-like bacterium of the genus Chlamydia, which comprises Gram-negative coccoids that reproduce as intracellular parasites in vertebrates and occasionally arthropods, causing numerous diseases (as trachoma, genital infections, and infantile pneumonia in humans, and psittacosis and abortion in animals). Originally proposed (quot. 1945) as the name of a larger taxon than the genus.

1984 Advertiser (Adelaide) 22 June The spread of chlamydia, until recently a relatively unknown venereal disease, has reached epidemic proportions.

1985 New Scientist 7 Nov. 23/3 Chlamydia should be one of the easiest sexually transmitted diseases to prevent and to treat.

1986 Sunday Tel. 3 Aug. 8/2 Herpes scares were followed by Aids scares, Aids scares by chlamydia, dubbed ‘The disease of the '80s’, a sexually transmitted disease which can kill the unborn child and infects between 3 million and 10 million Americans every year.
