Infection with chlamydia psittaci, transmitted to man by inhalation of dust-borne contaminated nasal secretions or excreta of infected birds. This infection results in a febrile illness characterised by pneumonitis and systemic manifestations.


pole vault (sh)




Track-and-field event consisting of a vault for height over a crossbar with the aid of a long pole.

It became a competitive sport in the mid-19th century and was included in the first modern Olympic Games. In competition, each vaulter is given three chances to clear a specific height. The bar is raised progressively until a winner emerges.
