Rats as potential reservoirs for neglected zoonotic Bartonella species in Flanders, Belgium

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Bartonella spp. are vector-borne pathogens transmitted to humans via blood-sucking arthropods. Rodents such as the black rat (Rattus rattus) and Norway rat (R. norvegicus) are thought to be the main reservoirs.

Can we continue research in splenectomized dogs? Mycoplasma haemocanis: Old problem - New insight [PDF]

, 2004
We report the appearance of a Mycoplasma haemocanis infection in laboratory dogs, which has been reported previously, yet, never before in Europe. Outbreak of the disease was triggered by a splenectomy intended to prepare the dogs for a hemorrhagic shock

Host conservation through their parasites: molecular surveillance of vector-borne microorganisms in bats using ectoparasitic bat flies

Parasite, 2020
Most vertebrates host a wide variety of haematophagous parasites, which may play an important role in the transmission of vector-borne microorganisms to hosts.

Molecular and Serological Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in Two Species of Rodents: Ctenodactylus gundi (Rodentia, Ctenodactylidae) and Psammomys obesus (Rodentia, Muridae) From South Tunisia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Rodents play a critical role in the life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii as intermediate hosts. Molecular and serological results reveal a high infection rate in two species of desert rodents. ABSTRACT The molecular and serological prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection was investigated among rodents living in desertic areas in the Tataouine district, in

Proposals To Unify the Genera Grahamella and Bartonella, with Descriptions of Bartonella talpae comb, nov., Bartonella peromysci comb. nov., and Three New Species, Bartonella grahamii sp. nov., Bartonella taylorii sp. nov., and Bartonella doshiae sp. nov. [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995
Polyphasic methods were used to examine the taxonomic positions of three newly identified Grahamella species. A comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of these organisms with the sequences available for other bacteria revealed that these three species form a tight monophyletic cluster with members of the genus Bartonella.

Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious diseases. [PDF]

, 2010
Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious agents may result from disruption of normal host barriers or dysregulation of cellular immunity, the latter serving to promote survival of the infectious agent through immune evasion.

Cutaneous manifestations of WHIM syndrome

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 917-921, May 2025.
Abstract Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis (WHIM) syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in the chemokine receptor CXCR4. While human papillomavirus (HPV) skin infection (warts) is the dermatological hallmark of the disease, individuals with WHIM have high rates of other skin manifestations ...

Role of distinct type‐IV‐secretion systems and secreted effector sets in host adaptation by pathogenic Bartonella species

Cellular Microbiology, 2019
The α‐proteobacterial genus Bartonella comprises a large number of facultative intracellular pathogens that share a common lifestyle hallmarked by hemotrophic infection and arthropod transmission.

Imaging Diagnosis—Sonographic Features of Bilateral Renal Lymphangiectasia in an Azotemic Dog

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 66, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT A 9‐year‐old male neutered Labrador Retriever was referred for azotemia and bilateral renomegaly. An abdominal ultrasound revealed severe bilateral renomegaly with septated subcapsular cystic anechoic lesions, consistent with renal lymphangiectasia. Despite conservative management, the patient died.
