Bartonella bovis and Candidatus Bartonella davousti in cattle from Senegal [PDF]
In Senegal, domestic ruminants play a vital role in the economy and agriculture and as a food source for people. Bartonellosis in animals is a neglected disease in the tropical regions, and little information is available about the occurrence of this disease in African ruminants.

“Candidatus Bartonella thailandensis”: A new genotype of Bartonella identified from rodents [PDF]
Bartonella species, intracellular parasite of erythrocytes and endothelial cells, are zoonotic pathogens of wild and domestic animals including rodents. Many species of rodents are commensally infected with a few Bartonella species in Asia. However, there are only few reports on detection of Bartonella in Thailand.

The Trw Type IV Secretion System of Bartonella Mediates Host-Specific Adhesion to Erythrocytes [PDF]
Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood.

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

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

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

Invasion and persistent intracellular colonization of erythrocytes : A unique parasitic strategy of the emerging pathogen Bartonella [PDF]
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
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]
Numerous bacterial pathogens secrete multiple effectors to modulate host cellular functions. These effectors may interfere with each other to efficiently control the infection process.
