Although it has not been confirmed that it was chlamydia there are reports of a chlamydia like bacteria infecting the eyes of ancient Chinese and egyptians. There was an outbreak in the early 1920's by bacteria from the chlamydiae phylum. The name Chlamydia first appeared in writing in 1945 and was validated as a genus of the Chlamydiae phylum in 1966.

Chlamydia is a bacteria. When we talk about Chlamydia in STIs, we refer to Chlamydia trachomatis, one of three bacterial species in the genus Chlamydia, family Chlamydiaceae, class Chlamydiae, phylum Chlamydiae, domain Bacteria. It was first discovered in humans in 1907. Chlamydia type bacteria have been found in the walls of some plants, and it is thought that there was a species crossover some time, historically.

So, it has been spread throughout humans throughout the whole of the last century.

Yes, it is very possible. Many people can carry a bacteria or virus, then transfer it to another person (chlamydia and meningitis are good examples), and it is often that the second person gets the disease, without the first person ever being aware of their dangerous status.

What is chlamydia and how can it be cured?

Chlamydia is the most frequently reported sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the USA. The disease is caused by bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis (one of the species in the bacterial genus Chlamydia that is found in humans). The name is pronounced kluh-mid-ee-uh and it comes from the Greek word that means "cloak".Chlamydia trachomatis can damage a woman's reproductive organs, which is the reason why women should deal with the problem as soon as possible. Symptoms of chlamydia are often undetectable. They might be mild or absent, but the bacteria can cause some serious complications that result in irreversible damage to the reporductive organs, including infertility. This may occur before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Women are often reinfected if their sex partners do not get the right type of treatment. Between 50%-75% of all women infected with chlamydia have no symptoms and do not know that they run the risk of developing a serious health condition.Men are not immune from chlamydia. In infected men, the disease can cause discharge from the penis.The treatment for chlamydia is usually azithromycin 1g or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for seven days.
