Las especies que conforman el género Chlamydia afectan una amplia gama de hospederos animales, causando diversas patologías. Chlamydia abortus (C. abortus), Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) y Chlamydia pecorum (C. pecorum) son las de mayor relevancia clínica en pequeños rumiantes a nivel mundial, ya que han sido relacionadas con problemas reproductivos, oculares y del tracto digestivo respectivamente; dos de estas (C. abortus y C. psittaci), representan un riesgo potencial zoonótico al ser humano. El diagnóstico de infecciones por organismos de este género resulta complicado; ya que, en la mayoría de los casos no hay signología clínica que indique la presencia del agente en animales afectados. Actualmente en países europeos la prevención y control principalmente de C. abortus se realiza mediante la administración de inmunógenos atenuados comerciales; sin embargo, su uso no ha mostrado resultados satisfactorios en la protección de animales susceptibles. Por lo tanto, la implementación de nuevas opciones de inmunización basadas en la utilización de proteínas recombinantes es la línea de investigación que más realce está tomando actualmente. Adicionalmente, el uso de proteínas con potencial inmunogénico podrían ser herramientas importantes para el diagnóstico, prevención y control de estos patógenos. Debido a esto, la presente revisión se centró en recapitular los estudios más actuales enfocados al uso experimental de diferentes proteínas inmunogénicas de Chlamydia spp. empleadas a nivel mundial, destacando su innovación y resultados obtenidos en los modelos experimentales.
