Molecular Prevalence and Identification of Zoonotic Plasmodium spp., Including Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium cynomolgi, and Plasmodium inui, in Long‐Tailed Macaques (Macaca fascicularis) of Southern Thailand

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Zoonotic malaria, caused by simian Plasmodium spp., poses a major public health challenge in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, where long‐tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) serve as natural reservoirs. This study investigated the molecular prevalence and species identification of zoonotic simian Plasmodium spp.

Detection of Bartonella quintana in African Body and Head Lice [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014
Currently, the body louse is the only recognized vector of Bartonella quintana, an organism that causes trench fever. In this work, we investigated the prevalence of this bacterium in human lice in different African countries. We tested 616 head lice and 424 body lice from nine African countries using real-time polymerase chain reaction targeting ...

Bartonella spp. seroprevalence in tick-exposed Swedish patients with persistent symptoms

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Bartonella spp. are emerging pathogens transmitted by arthropod vectors, possibly including ticks. We have investigated signs of bartonellosis in Swedish patients with presumed tick-bite exposure and symptom duration of at least 6 months ...

Persistence of Bartonella spp. stealth pathogens: from subclinical infections to vasoproliferative tumor formation [PDF]

, 2017
Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that typically cause a long-lasting intraerythrocytic bacteremia in their mammalian reservoir hosts, thereby favoring transmission by blood-sucking arthropods.

Multilocular subcutaneous bacillary angiomatosis as a primary manifestation of AIDS

Skin Health and Disease, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2024.
Using the clinical example of bacillary angiomatosis (BA) in the initial diagnosis of HIV infection, this case report illustrates the importance of prompt and comprehensive diagnostic testing for unusual skin changes, particularly when accompanied by general symptoms and indications of immunosuppression.

Five-Member Gene Family of Bartonella quintana [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2003
ABSTRACT Bartonella quintana , the agent of trench fever and an etiologic agent of bacillary angiomatosis, has an extraordinarily high hemin requirement for growth compared to other bacterial pathogens. We previously identified the major hemin receptor of the pathogen as a 30-kDa surface protein, termed HbpA.

Diversity of bartonellae in mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) of boreal forest bats: Association of host specificity of mites and habitat selection of hosts with vector potential

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 518-529, December 2024.
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 ...

First Report of Bartonella Quintana Endocarditis in Japan

Circulation Journal, 2008
Bartonella (Rochalimaea) species are increasingly recognized as a cause of endocarditis, but the total number of cases remains low. Especially, Bartonella quintana endocarditis is very rare and there have been no reports in Japan. A 66-year-old man was hospitalized because of dyspnea and fever. An echocardiogram showed severe mitral valve regurgitation,

Isolation and characterization of Bartonella quintana from parotid gland of an immunocompetent man. [PDF]

, 2009
We describe a case of the isolation of Bartonella quintana from the parotid gland of an apparently healthy man. Pathological examination showed intraparotid granulomatous abscessual lymphadenitis.
