This study focuses on Bartonella spp. (a Gram‐negative bacteria) in small mammals and their ectoparasites within a rainforest human‐use landscape. We found that a high proportion (40.56%) of the tested small mammals across five species and two sites carry Bartonella, with prevalence being positively correlated with aggregated ectoparasite load. Despite

Campylobacter jejuni gene cj0511 encodes a serine peptidase essential for colonisation
According to MEROPS peptidase database, Campylobacter species encode 64 predicted peptidases. However, proteolytic properties of only a few of these proteins have been confirmed experimentally. In this study we identified and characterised a Campylobacter jejuni gene cj0511 encoding a novel peptidase.

Bats play a major role in the circulation of zoonotic pathogens. Mites (Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) may facilitate the long‐term maintenance (and even local recurrence) of Bartonella‐infestations. Mites may transmit several distinct Bartonella strains, which cluster phylogenetically close to Bartonella species known for their zoonotic role ...

Carrion’s disease (CD), is a human bartonellosis, that is, endemic in the Andes of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. Bartonella bacilliformis, a native hemotrophic bacteria, is the causative agent of CD, and the interaction with the host could have produced changes in the gene frequencies of erythrocyte antigens.

Beyond Cat Scratch Disease: A Case Report of Bartonella Infection Mimicking Vasculitic Disorder
Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a bacterial disease caused by Bartonella henselae and it is mainly characterized by self‐limiting lymphadenopathy in the draining site of a cat scratch or bite. We report a patient with history of fever, swelling lymph nodes, vasculitic‐like skin lesions, and positivity of Bartonella serology initially considered as ...

Detection and characterization of Bartonella species in Western Australia [PDF]
In this study, the prevalence and genetic diversity of Bartonella species in various arthropod vectors from both wild and domestic animals in Australia were investigated using nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and multilocus sequence analysis

A bacteriophage-like particle from Bartonella bacilliformis [PDF]
Bartonella bacilliformis and Bartonella henselae, the respective agents of Oroya fever and cat-scratch disease in humans, are known to produce bacteriophage-like particles (BLPs) that package 14 kbp segments of the host chromosome.

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

Functional characterization of "Bartonella" effector protein - BepE during "in vivo" and "in vitro" infection [PDF]
The bartonellae is a family of gram-negative, fastidious, facultative intracellular, zoonotic bacteria. Most of the Bartonella species are highly adapted to establish asymptomatic bacteremia of their reservoir host within which the bacteria colonize ...
