Proposals To Unify the Genera Grahamella and Bartonella, with Descriptions of Bartonella talpae comb, nov., Bartonella peromysci comb. nov., and Three New Species, Bartonella grahamii sp. nov., Bartonella taylorii sp. nov., and Bartonella doshiae sp. nov. [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995
Polyphasic methods were used to examine the taxonomic positions of three newly identified Grahamella species. A comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of these organisms with the sequences available for other bacteria revealed that these three species form a tight monophyletic cluster with members of the genus Bartonella.

Molecular prevalence and genetic diversity of Bartonella spp. in stray cats of İzmir, Turkey

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Bartonella spp. are vector-borne pathogens that cause zoonotic infections in humans. One of the most well-known of these is cat-scratch disease caused by Bartonella henselae and Bartonella clarridgeiae, with cats being the major reservoir for ...

Innovative Airborne DNA Approach for Monitoring Honey Bee Foraging and Health

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Using a novel modification of our simple hand airborne eDNA samplers this pilot study demonstrates that eDNA filtered from the air of a honey been colony has the strong potential for rapid screening of honey bee health and for the study of bee foraging behavior. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to genetic material collected from the environment

Bartonella Associated Cutaneous Lesions (BACL) in People with Neuropsychiatric Symptoms

Pathogens, 2020
Bartonella species are globally important emerging pathogens that were not known to infect animals or humans in North America prior to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. Ongoing improvements in diagnostic testing modalities have allowed for

Bartonella spp. bacteremia in blood donors from Campinas, Brazil. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Bartonella species are blood-borne, re-emerging organisms, capable of causing prolonged infection with diverse disease manifestations, from asymptomatic bacteremia to chronic debilitating disease and death.

Can Oral Swabs Be Used to Diagnose Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Cervicofacial Lymphadenitis?

The Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue 7, Page 2602-2607, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the presence of mycobacteria in the oral cavity and oropharynx of children with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) cervicofacial lymphadenitis compared to negative controls. Our aim was to evaluate whether oral cavity and oropharyngeal swab sampling could serve as a minimally invasive alternative to diagnostic ...

Coagulation status of immune‐mediated polyarthritis in dogs

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 66, Issue 7, Page 443-450, July 2025.
Objective To describe the coagulation status of dogs with immune‐mediated polyarthritis. Materials and Methods Hospital records at a single referral centre were retrospectively reviewed for dogs diagnosed with immune‐mediated polyarthritis. Cases were classified as hypercoagulable, normocoagulable, hypocoagulable, or hypercoagulable and hypocoagulable ...

Host conservation through their parasites: molecular surveillance of vector-borne microorganisms in bats using ectoparasitic bat flies

Parasite, 2020
Most vertebrates host a wide variety of haematophagous parasites, which may play an important role in the transmission of vector-borne microorganisms to hosts.

Unraveling the Mechanistic Links Between Species Diversity and Infection Risk From Zoonotic Pathogens With Direct Transmission Among Reservoir Hosts: Rodent‐Orthohantavirus Systems as Models

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
In this review, we synthesize mechanistic evidence for diversity‐disease patterns in rodent‐orthohantavirus systems in the Americas, models of directly transmitted disease systems. We found that host regulation has been examined the most while other mechanisms have received less attention. Based on our findings, we propose that for a negative diversity‐

Rapid Diagnostic Testing for Infective Endocarditis and Myocarditis Using Nanopore Targeted Sequencing

iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 191-200, June 2025.
This research presents a method based on nanopore targeted sequencing (NTS) with pathogen‐specific panels for testing infective endocarditis (IE) and myocarditis. The NTS achieved a detection limit of 20 copies/test for the IE target panel and 10 copies/test for the myocarditis target panel.
