First report of three novel Bartonella species isolated in rodents and shrews from nine provinces of Thailand [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2022 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,

Novel Rickettsia spp. in two common overwintering North American songbirds
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022 American robins and dark-eyed juncos migrate across North America and have been found to be competent hosts for some bacterial and viral pathogens, but their contributions to arthropod-borne diseases more broadly remain poorly characterized.

Bartonella spp. in Small Mammals and Their Fleas in Differently Structured Habitats From Germany
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Most Bartonella spp. are transmitted by fleas and harbored by small mammals which serve as reservoirs. However, little is known about the composition of fleas and their Bartonella spp. from small mammals in Central Europe.

Genetic diversity of Bartonella infection in residential and field rodents in Hebei, China
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Rodents are the primary natural reservoirs of Bartonella spp., and some of which are zoonotic causative agents. Hence, surveillance of Bartonella sp. infection in rodents is very important for the prevention of human bartonellosis caused by them. In this
