The first reported case of Bartonella endocarditis in Thailand
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

Bartonella spp. in Small Mammals and Their Fleas in Differently Structured Habitats From Germany
Most Bartonella spp. are transmitted by fleas and harbored by small mammals which serve as reservoirs. However, little is known about the composition of fleas and their Bartonella spp. from small mammals in Central Europe.

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

Molecular detection of Bartonella species in wild small mammals in western Yunnan Province, China
BackgroundSmall mammals serve as the main reservoir for Bartonella and as a proxy indicator of the potential risk of Bartonella transmission from nature to humans. They offer a valuable early warning for human infection.

Emerging and Re-Emerging Zoonoses of Dogs and Cats. [PDF]
Since the middle of the 20th century, pets are more frequently considered as "family members" within households. However, cats and dogs still can be a source of human infection by various zoonotic pathogens.
