Altitude-dependent Bartonella quintana Genotype C in Head Lice, Ethiopia

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.

Seroprevalence of Bartonella henselae Immunoglobulin G and Associated Risk Factors Among Adults Undergoing Health Screening in Urban Korea

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 288-295, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Bartonella henselae (B. henselae), the causative agent of cat‐scratch disease, is a zoonotic pathogen transmitted mainly through pet‐related injuries. Although infection is usually mild and self‐limiting, severe complications have been reported. Despite increasing pet ownership in Korea, data on human exposure to B.

Molecular Detection and Genetic Diversity of Bat‐Associated Bartonella spp. in Bat Ectoparasites Collected From Ratchaburi Province, Thailand

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Bat ectoparasites collected from four insectivorous bat species were identified through mitochondrial gene analysis. This study provides the first evidence of bat‐associated Bartonella species in ectoparasites, including bat flies (Phthiridium sp., Raymondia sp.

Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S‐rRNA Gene

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Candidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

Bartonella quintana and Rickettsia felis in Gabon

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We detected Rickettsia felis DNA in Ctenocephalides felis and Bartonella quintana DNA in 3 Pulex irritans fleas taken from a pet Cercopithecus cephus monkey in Gabon, sub-Saharan Africa. This is the first report of B. quintana in the human flea.

New Insights Into the Evolution of Immune Adaptors in Murid Rodents

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
TIR domain‐containing adaptors were evolved under purifying selection in murine. Positively selected sites were identified in Mal and Myd88 genes. Reduced genetic diversity of each adaptor gene was observed in two rat populations. Shared polymorphisms were common phenomena in rat adaptors.

Extraneurological Presentations of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus: A Rare Case of TBEV‐Associated Myocarditis With Fever and Bicytopenia and a Systematic Literature Review

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Purpose Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), a zoonotic disease caused by the tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), usually manifests with a biphasic course with neurological involvement during its second phase. Extraneurological manifestations are rare but clinically relevant.

Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Caused by Bartonella quintana

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
We describe the first case of Bartonella quintana endocarditis affecting a prosthetic valve in a person with no known risk factors for this infection. Bartonella should be considered as a cause of endocarditis in any clinical setting.

Lethal Case of Bourbon Virus Leading to Shock and ECMO Utilization

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We present a lethal case of Bourbon virus infection in a 63‐year‐old Caucasian, diabetic male who was previously in good health. The patient had spent time in the wooded areas of Bourbon County, Kansas, and removed three ticks from his body 5 days prior to presentation.
