Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana antigens grown in liquid medium are inferior to cell culture-grown antigen for immunofluorescence IgG testing of patient sera [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumSerodiagnosis of Bartonella infections predominantly relies on immunofluorescence assays (IFA) utilizing antigen preparations derived from bacteria co-cultivated with host cells.

Five millennia of Bartonella quintana bacteremia [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2020 ABSTRACTBartonella quintanacaused trench fever in the framework of two World Wars and is now recognized as an agent of re-emerging infection. Many reports indicated the popularity ofB. quintanaexposure since the 90s. For evaluating its prevalence in ancient populations, we used real-time PCR to detectB.

Bartonella quintana in Cimex hemipterus, Rwanda [PDF]
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013 The common bed bug species Cimex lectularius, which has a worldwide distribution, and C. hemipterus, which has tropical climate distribution, are hematophagous arthropods.1 The bugs are attracted to the human host by warmth and carbon dioxide, and bed bug infestations are rapidly increasing worldwide.

Bartonella quintanain head louse nits [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2011 The body louse is the principal vector of Bartonella quintana, the causative organism of trench fever, but B. quintana DNA has also been detected in adult head lice. Because there are no characteristics that distinguish the body louse from the head louse, we decided to test head louse nits collected from a homeless man for the presence of B.

Altitude-dependent Bartonella quintana Genotype C in Head Lice, Ethiopia [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 To determine the presence of Bartonella quintana in head and body lice from persons in different locations in Ethiopia, we used molecular methods. B. quintana was found in 19 (7%) genotype C head lice and in 76 (18%) genotype A body lice. B.
