Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata) as Natural Reservoir of Bartonella quintana

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Bartonella quintana bacteremia was detected in 6 (13.3%) of 45 wild-caught Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Multilocus sequence typing of the isolates revealed that Japanese macaques were infected with a new and specific B.

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.

Bartonella quintana deploys host and vector temperature-specific transcriptomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The bacterial pathogen Bartonella quintana is passed between humans by body lice. B. quintana has adapted to both the human host and body louse vector niches, producing persistent infection with high titer bacterial loads in both the host (up to 10(5 ...

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.

The Trw type IV secretion system of Bartonella mediates host-specific adhesion to erythrocytes.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood.

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.

Culture-negative endocarditis due to Bartonella quintana

South African Medical Journal, 2016
Bartonella spp. was first described as a possible cause of culture-negative endocarditis in 1993, and has since emerged as a significant cause of this condition worldwide. We describe a complicated case of culture-negative endocarditis in an immune-competent male patient, which was confirmed on resected heart valves to have been caused by Bartonella ...

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
