),
the 1st description of a disease marked by an atypical pneumonia was reported in 1879 among persons having contact with sick parrots [オウム]. … An unusually severe epidemic occurred in Paris in 1892. The name psittacosis was suggested for the disease in 1895. … An epidemic involving more than 100 cases of atypical pneumonia, diagnosed as psittacosis, occurred in Argentina in 1929. A year later, outbreaks in Europe and the USA were traced to parrots newly imported from South America.
