Molecular Detection of Bartonella spp. in China and St. Kitts

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2019
Bartonella are vector-borne hemotropic bacteria that infect a wide variety of hosts, including people. While there are PCR assays that can identify individual or groups of Bartonella, there is no reliable molecular method to simultaneously detect all ...

Bartonella infections in fleas (Siphonaptera : Pulicidae) and lack of Bartonellae in ticks (Acari : Ixodidae) from Hungary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Fleas (95 Pulex irritans, 50 Ctenocephalides felis, 45 Ctenocephalides canis) and ixodid ticks (223 Ixodes ricinus, 231 Dermacentor reticulatus, 204 Haemaphysalis concinna) were collected in Hungary and tested, in assays based on PCR, for Bartonella ...

Large-scale identification of pathogenicity factors in "Bartonella" by signature-tagged mutagenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Bartonellae are bacterial pathogens uniquely adapted to cause intraerythrocytic infection in their mammalian reservoir hosts. In the case of human-specific Bartonella bacilliformis and Bartonella quintana, the intraerythrocytic bacteremia leads to the ...

Structure of the Head of the Bartonella Adhesin BadA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are a major class of proteins by which pathogenic proteobacteria adhere to their hosts. Prominent examples include Yersinia YadA, Haemophilus Hia and Hsf, Moraxella UspA1 and A2, and Neisseria NadA.

The Trw Type IV Secretion System of Bartonella Mediates Host-Specific Adhesion to Erythrocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood.

Adhesion and host cell modulation: critical pathogenicity determinants of Bartonella henselae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat scratch disease and the vasculoproliferative disorders bacillary angiomatosis and peliosis hepatis, contains to date two groups of described pathogenicity factors: adhesins and type IV secretion systems.

Invasion and persistent intracellular colonization of erythrocytes : A unique parasitic strategy of the emerging pathogen Bartonella [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The expanding genus Bartonella includes zoonotic and human-specific pathogens that can cause a wide range of clinical manifestations. A productive infection allowing bacterial transmission by blood-sucking arthropods is marked by an intraerythrocytic ...

SEAL LOUSE (ECHINOPHTHIRIDAE) AS VECTORS FOR INVASIVE AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE AGENTS OF PINNIPEDS

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2017
The aim of the presented article is to analyze seal lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura, Echinophthiridae) adaptation to aquatic environment – permanent parasites of pinnipeds, as well as available literature data about seal lice as pathogen vectors of their ...

A translocated effector required for bartonella dissemination from derma to blood safeguards migratory host cells from damage by co-translocated effectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Numerous bacterial pathogens secrete multiple effectors to modulate host cellular functions. These effectors may interfere with each other to efficiently control the infection process.

The first reported case of Bartonella endocarditis in Thailand

open access: yesInfectious Disease Reports, 2011
Bartonella species have been shown to cause acute, undifferentiated fever in Thailand. A study to identify causes of endocarditis that were blood culture-negative using routine methods led to the first reported case in Thailand of Bartonella endocarditis
