Multi-host Bartonella parasites display covert host-specificity even when transmitted by generalist vectors. [PDF]
Many parasites infect multiple sympatric host species and there is a general assumption that parasite transmission between co-occurring host species is commonplace.

Rheumatological presentation of Bartonella koehlerae and Bartonella henselae bacteremias
Systemic Bartonella spp. infections are being increasingly reported in association with complex medical presentations. Individuals with frequent arthropod exposures or animal contact appear to be at risk for acquiring long standing infections with Bartonella spp.This case report describes infections with Bartonella koehlerae and Bartonella henselae in ...

Molecular Surveillance of Honey Bee Hives Using eDNA Metabarcoding During Pollination Season
Healthy honey bees are critical in safeguarding our food supply, but monitoring their health may present a significant challenge. Here, we used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on bee hive debris and detected species of arthropods, bacteria and fungi contributing to form the bee hive environment, including hive pests and pathogens as well as hive

Prevalence of Bartonella henselae and Bartonella clarridgeiae in cats and dogs in Korea
Blood, saliva, and nail samples were collected from 54 dogs and 151 cats and analyzed for the presence of Bartonella henselae with a novel nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Bartonella (B.) henselae was detected in feral cat blood (41.8%), saliva (44.1%), and nail (42.7%) samples. B.

An 18‐year‐old girl who didn't have any pets but was infested with fleas from a pet‐owning neighbour. Flea‐bite dermatitis caused severe pruritus, urticarial and papulomatous lesions on the neck and arm. Fleas were removed and identified as Ctenocephalides felis, the cat flea.

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

ABSTRACT Bacteriohopanepolyol derivatives (BHPDs) and dia‐ and catagenetic products formed from these bacterial membrane modifiers are extensively used as biomarkers in molecular ecological and geoscience studies. Some BHPDs can be assigned to specific phylogenetic bacterial groups. With the vastly increasing availability of complete bacterial genomes,
