Genetic diversity of Bartonella infection in residential and field rodents in Hebei, China
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Rodents are the primary natural reservoirs of Bartonella spp., and some of which are zoonotic causative agents. Hence, surveillance of Bartonella sp. infection in rodents is very important for the prevention of human bartonellosis caused by them. In this

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 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
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 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.

Bartonella rochalimaeand OtherBartonellaspp. in Fleas, Chile
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To the Editor: Fleas are involved in the natural cycle of different Bartonella spp. Among the 20 currently recognized Bartonella spp., 13 species or subspecies have been implicated in human disease. Recently, B. rochalimae was identified in a patient who had received numerous insect bites and subsequently had bacteremia, fever, and splenomegaly after ...
