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 ...

Persistence of Bartonella spp. stealth pathogens: from subclinical infections to vasoproliferative tumor formation [PDF]
Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that typically cause a long-lasting intraerythrocytic bacteremia in their mammalian reservoir hosts, thereby favoring transmission by blood-sucking arthropods.

Evaluation of PCR Approaches for Detection of Bartonella bacilliformis in Blood Samples [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The lack of an effective diagnostic tool for Carrion's disease leads to misdiagnosis, wrong treatments and perpetuation of asymptomatic carriers living in endemic areas.

Translocation of effector proteins is a key virulence trait of many pathogenic bacteria. Various strategies were developed to visualize the translocation of effector proteins, and this review summarizes experimental approaches for analyses of translocation towards localization, kinetics, and dynamics on single molecule level.

Bartonella henselae Endocarditis: An Usual Presentation of an Unusual Disease
Bartonella species are an emerging cause of culture-negative endocarditis with more cases being diagnosed now than 25 years ago when Bartonella quintana endocarditis was first described in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV ...

Detection and diversity of a putative novel heterogeneous polymorphic proline-glycine repeat (Pgr) protein in the footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus [PDF]
Dichelobacter nodosus, a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is the essential causative agent of footrot in sheep. Currently, depending on the clinical presentation in the field, footrot is described as benign or virulent; D.

Prevalence and diversity of Bartonella species in small rodents from coastal and continental areas
Worldwide, Bartonella infections are known to inflict a wide range of mammals and, within rodents alone, more than 20 Bartonella species have been detected. There is, however, a lack of studies on the presence of Bartonella spp.

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.
