Chlamydia has an origin, so where is the origin?

It seems rather presumptive to me that a doctor can simply say that a bacteria is passed along via sexual intercourse, but this doctor does not have the knowledge to explain the origin of a bacterial disease such as Chlamydia.

These diseases just don't happen, there has to be an origination somewhere. The gods don't just say one day, well I think we'll infect someone with Chlamydia today and see what happens.  Bacteria comes from the earth, just like we did, so where is the does this particular bacterium originate?  

Sure Chlamydia is 1000's of years old and passed in humans sexually, but it is also carried by Cats, Dogs, Birds, etc. There are different strains of Chlamydia that can cause pneumonia, or other area's of the body to be affected, including the eyes.  

It's pretty bad when there is no ability with our technologies to trace the origin of a bacterium that is prevalent in more than just human beings.  It's also fairly ignorant of a Doctor to simply say, it's caught via sexual intercourse.

It doesn't matter how much education you think you have, if you lack the ability to continually learn and evolve your understanding of the world around you, you're either arrogant or ignorant.

Now if someone asks a doctor a question and the only answer they can give is that it's an STD, there's a problem and that Doctor needs a little more education.

Hi, folks,

It may not be immediately apparent, but the original post in this thread is several years old and it appears that all viewpoints on this issue have been presented.  Since the purpose of this forum is prevention of STDs, including chlamydia, and a circular debate on its origins isn't likely to further the purpose, we're closing this discussion to further posts.  If you'd like to post a question about your own situation, please do so by starting a new thread.  Thank you!

Claire

The best professional answer to give to this question if someone who claim to be a professional doctor or a master in biology, or Phd, is "we don't have enough information as to to where it originated from" then to said someone else information is false but yet fail to provide anyone with an accurate enough answer but claim to be a professional in what you do for a living, but y'all lable one as being ignorant because they came up with maybe the best scenario that which you have no answer for..... THAT'S CRAZY! Lmmfao....

Jessyjames. We know its an std.....but HOW does one get it?? Ok, its passed through sex. How did the first person get it? Thats what we are trying to find out. Especially one that is not sexually active or with couples that are faithful to one another for years. And VANCE is not answering anything....simple as that. Explain this. I was a virgin, so was my boyfriend at the time. We had sex and we both got chlamydia. We've only been with one another. How did we get it??????

ANNND, Kestrel_eye I know that sometimes taking anti-biotics can actually cause a vaginal/fungal disease. Partial Big Pharma cover-up? Probably! They are the only ones with enough money to care to fund a research project that would look for the origins of chlymidia. But why fund a research project when part of the problem could be a product the pharmacutical companys are producing?

Sry Jessy I disagree. The origins must be important. And the reason being If Chlymidya where eradicated from the face of the earth (like small pox supposably has been presumed in 2011), would the disease manifest itself in humans through sexual contact again organically? Or would the disease have been wiped out?

If it would reappear on its own obviously it has origins, and I feel they would be important to understand. If not it was obviously only spread through an infected host individual through sexual contact.

Who's to say there isnt something already present in the penis or vagina and It could fest into chlymidia and reappear? Or we all maybe have a bacteria inside of us and when a series of events within us create the right conditions we can get/spread chlymidia? We all have cells within us, that may or may not mutate into cancer, perhaps its similar.

I honestly don't feel that saying it is spread through sexual contact is a good enough explination of anything, to dismiss claims of individuals where sexual contact is non evident in there personal case with the disease, or in cases where the couples were NOT INFECTED PRIOR to their monagamous relationships or polygamous relationships with trusted partners.

I understand your side of the argument but there is obviously a opposing side to this argument being completly overlooked, because an explination cannot be given where individuals are infected but abstinent from sexual relations and cases where neither partner is infected but the disease has appeared in the individuals.

Btw, The World Health Organization estimates that only 500,000 vials of smallpox vaccine are currently being stored (basically no one in the world at this time is vaccinated against smallpox anymore. An outbreak in this day in age could quickly become a pandemic.)

Have a great Day! :D
