Answer:

ovaries

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlamydia trachomatis is a parasitic bacterium that can cause diseases in humans, especially in the genitals. The infections caused by these bacteria are silent and often have no symptoms.

In women, the infections caused by these bacteria, do not involve the ovaries, but can involve the cervix, endometrium and urethra. It is an infection predominantly found in young women and may present pain, infertility, spontaneous abortions and other problems.
