Coinfection with Bartonella clarridgeiae and Bartonella henselae and with different Bartonella henselae strains in domestic cats [PDF]
Bartonella clarridgeiae and several strains of Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat scratch disease, with variations in the 16S rRNA gene have been found to infect the blood of cats. An epidemiologic study of Bartonella infection in domestic French cats revealed that of 436 cats sampled, 5 cats (1.1%) were coinfected with B.

Host-Pathogen-Vector Continuum in a Changing Landscape: Potential Transmission Pathways for <i>Bartonella</i> in a Small Mammal Community. [PDF]
This study focuses on Bartonella spp. (a Gram‐negative bacteria) in small mammals and their ectoparasites within a rainforest human‐use landscape. We found that a high proportion (40.56%) of the tested small mammals across five species and two sites carry Bartonella, with prevalence being positively correlated with aggregated ectoparasite load. Despite

Comparative study on Bartonella infection in spleen and kidney of small mammals from Mile City and Lianghe County, Yunnan Province [PDF]
BackgroundBartonellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Bartonella spp. Small mammals are the most important hosts of Bartonella and play an important role in its long-term maintenance and spread.

Comparative Community Ecology Reveals Conserved Ectoparasite Microbiomes Amidst Variable Host and Environment Microbiomes. [PDF]
Our results indicate that ectoparasite microbiomes are highly conserved and specific. In contrast, we found high geographic variation in host and environmental microbiomes, suggesting that there may be a constraint on blood‐feeding insect ectoparasites to maintain a specific microbiome.

First report of three novel Bartonella species isolated in rodents and shrews from nine provinces of Thailand [PDF]
Background and Aim: Bartonella spp. are Gram-negative zoonotic bacteria that are transmitted to humans by several types of animal hosts, including rodents. Several studies have been conducted on the prevalence of Bartonella infections in rodents. However,

Molecular detection of Bartonella and Borrelia in pet dogs in Metro Manila and Laguna, Philippines [PDF]
Background and Aim: Bartonella and Borrelia are zoonotic vector-borne pathogens that can infect dogs and humans. Data on Bartonella and Borrelia in dogs in the Philippines are lacking.
