Genetic diversity, infection prevalence, and possible transmission routes of Bartonella spp. in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2018 Bartonella spp. are globally distributed bacteria that cause endocarditis in humans and domestic animals. Recent work has suggested bats as zoonotic reservoirs of some human Bartonella infections; however, the ecological and spatiotemporal patterns of ...

Hemotropic mycoplasmas in little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus). [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundHemotropic mycoplasmas are epicellular erythrocytic bacteria that can cause infectious anemia in some mammalian species. Worldwide, hemotropic mycoplasmas are emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens potentially causing serious and ...

Host phylogeny, geographic overlap, and roost sharing shape parasite communities in European bats [PDF]
, 2019 How multitrophic relationships between wildlife communities and their ectoparasitic vectors interact to shape the diversity of vector-borne microorganisms is poorly understood. Nested levels of dependence among microbes, vectors, and vertebrate hosts may

Bartonella clarridgeiae infection in a patient with aortic root abscess and endocarditis [PDF]
, 2019 Introduction. Bartonella species are increasingly recognized as agents of culture-negative endocarditis. However, to date, almost all human cases have been associated with two members of the genus, Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana. B. henselae
