Rapid and sensitive detection of Bartonella bacilliformis in experimentally infected sand flies by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of the Pap31 gene. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Carrion' disease, caused by Bartonella bacilliformis, remains truly neglected due to its focal geographical nature. A wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, including asymptomatic bacteremia, and lack of a sensitive diagnostic test can potentially ...

An Outbreak of Bartonella bacilliformis in an Endemic Andean Community. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
Bartonellosis affects small Andean communities in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador. Research in this area has been limited.Retrospective review of 191 cases of bartonellosis managed in Caraz District Hospital, Peru, during the last outbreak (2003).The majority of cases (65%) were 14 years old and younger.

Possible vertical transmission of Bartonella bacilliformis in Peru. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2015
A 22-day-old male was admitted with a 2-day history of irritability, dyspnea, jaundice, fever, and gastrointestinal bleeding. A thin blood smear was performed, which showed the presence of intraerythrocyte bacteria identified as Bartonella bacilliformis, and subsequently, the child was diagnosed with Carrion's disease.

Species diversity and detection of pathogens in phlebotomine sand flies collected from forest management areas of Quintana Roo, Mexico

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 845-858, December 2023., 2023
We compared sand fly communities of a forest reserve with those of forest management areas in Mexico to determine their species diversity (α and β) and determined peaks of activity. During the windy and dry season, the abundance of anthropophilic sand fly species is negatively correlated with the temperature and positively correlated with relative ...

Entry of Bartonella bacilliformis into erythrocytes [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1986
Bartonella bacilliformis, which causes the human diseases Oroya fever and verruga peruana, binds to human erythrocytes in vitro and produces substantial and long-lasting deformations in erythrocyte membranes, including cone-shaped depressions, trenches, and deep invaginations.

Limitations of Serological Diagnosis of Typical Cat Scratch Disease and Recommendations for the Diagnostic Procedure

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Introduction. Cat scratch disease (CSD) is the most common cause of bacterial infectious lymphadenopathy, especially in children, but its diagnosis still remains challenging. Serological assays are widely applied due to their simplicity and the non‐invasive sampling.

Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis genome characterization unveils genetic features that highlight their zoonotic potential

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Orsini and colleagues present the whole‐genome characterization of Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis, two Gram‐negative bacteria that infect marine mammals causing lethal disease. By de novo assembling of raw sequencing data and comparative annotation of all available genome sequences in databases, the authors provide insights on Brucella genus ...

Bats and their ectoparasites (Nycteribiidae and Spinturnicidae) carry diverse novel Bartonella genotypes, China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e845-e858, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Bartonella species are facultative intracellular bacteria and recognized worldwide as emerging zoonotic pathogens. Bartonella were isolated or identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bats and their ectoparasites worldwide, whereas the association between them was scarce, especially in Asia. In this study, a retrospective analysis with
