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.

Characterisation of the Bartonella quintana YopJ Homologue [PDF]

, 2021
<p><b>Bartonella is a genus of re-emerging bacterial pathogens that typically cause asymptomatic, intra-erythrocytic bacteraemia in their reservoir hosts and are highly specialised to evade host immunity. One of the many mechanisms by which Bartonella spp.

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.

Bartonella quintana and Typhus Group Rickettsiae Exposure among Homeless Persons, Bogotá, Colombia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
In 2015, we investigated Bartonella quintana and typhus group rickettsiae in body lice from homeless persons in Bogotá, Colombia. We found B. quintana–infected body lice and seroprevalence of this microorganism in 19% of homeless persons and typhus group

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 Case ofBartonella quintanaEndocarditis in Korea

Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2012
Since microbial gene sequencing was utilized for etiologic diagnosis of culture-negative endocarditis, cases of Bartonella endocarditis have been reported in various countries. Herein we report the first case of Bartonella quintana endocarditis, which was confirmed for the first time in Korea by 16S rRNA gene sequencing from the excised valve.

Bartonella quintana in Head Lice from Sénégal

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2012
Head and body lice are strict, obligate human ectoparasites with three mitochondrial clades (A, B, and C). Body lice have been implicated as vectors of human diseases, and as the principal vectors of epidemic typhus, relapsing fever, and Bartonella quintata -associated diseases (trench fever,

Assessment of the Risks of Zoonotic Infection at the Primatology Centre of the Interdisciplinary Medical Research Centre of Franceville in Gabon

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 53, Issue 5, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐human primate (NHPs) conservation sites could be sites of exchange of pathogens involved in infectious diseases. It is important to assess the potential risks associated with this type of structure. The objective of this study was to carry out a risk assessment of the Primatology Centre housed in the Interdisciplinary Centre for
