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]
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.

The caterpillars of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are emerging models to study innate immunity and plastic biodegradation. Both of these processes are impacted by the associations between the insect host and its gut microbiome. Although bacterial flora harbored by the larvae have been characterized, little is known

Steroid‐responsive generalised sterile necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis in a cat
A 1.5‐year‐old neutered male cat was presented with fever, inappetence, lethargy and marked generalised lymphadenopathy of 4 days duration. Excisional biopsy of peripheral lymph nodes revealed necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis. Extensive investigation failed to identify an underlying infectious [bacterial (Bartonella, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma,

ABSTRACT Background Potential triggers of immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) are often identified, but their frequency and the benefit of extensive screening for these to individual dogs is uncertain. Objective To assess the frequency of non‐associative IMHA in dogs undergoing screening in Britain and Ireland and identify where specific tests ...

Molecular detection of Bartonella spp. in deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) in Poland
Background The bacteria of the genus Bartonella are obligate parasites of vertebrates. Their distribution range covers almost the entire world from America, Europe, Asia to Africa and Australia. Some species of Bartonella are pathogenic for humans. Their

Clonal T Cell Proliferation Induced by Acute Anaplasmosis in a Dog
ABSTRACT A 4‐year‐old spayed female Golden Retriever was examined for hindlimb lameness, lethargy, poor appetite, and pyrexia 3 weeks after the removal of numerous ticks. Complete blood count revealed moderate thrombocytopenia and mild lymphopenia. A SNAP 4Dx test was negative for Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., and Dirofilaria ...
