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

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

Human endocarditis on prosthetic valves due to Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Bartonella spp. infections are increasingly recognized as causes of zoonotic diseases. One of the most severe infections caused by Bartonella spp. is infective endocarditis, predominantly affecting individuals with underlying valvular heart disease ...

Human Exposure to Novel Bartonella Species from Contact with Fruit Bats

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Twice a year in southwestern Nigeria, during a traditional bat festival, community participants enter designated caves to capture bats, which are then consumed for food or traded. We investigated the presence of Bartonella species in Egyptian fruit bats (

Prevalence and genetic diversity of rodent-associated Bartonella in Hulunbuir border regions, China

Heliyon
Bartonella spp. are globally distributed gram-negative facultative intracellular bacteria that infect a wide range of hosts. Rodents are natural reservoirs of many Bartonella species, some of which are also pathogenic to humans.

Genetic diversity of Bartonella infection in residential and field rodents in Hebei, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Rodents are the primary natural reservoirs of Bartonella spp., and some of which are zoonotic causative agents. Hence, surveillance of Bartonella sp. infection in rodents is very important for the prevention of human bartonellosis caused by them. In this

Bartonella species detection in captive, stranded and free-ranging cetaceans [PDF]

, 2008
We present prevalence of Bartonella spp. for multiple cohorts of wild and captive cetaceans. One hundred and six cetaceans including 86 bottlenose dolphins (71 free-ranging, 14 captive in a facility with a dolphin experiencing debility of unknown origin,

Immunofluorescence analysis reveals no increased seroprevalence of anti-Bartonella schoenbuchensis-IgG antibodies in German forest workers

Parasites & Vectors
Background Bartonella schoenbuchensis is suspected to cause deer ked dermatitis and febrile diseases in humans. Deer keds (Lipoptena cervi), which infest cervids (e.g., roe deer, fallow deer), are discussed as potential vectors for B.
