Bartonella ssp. as a zoonotic pathogens transmitting by blood-feeding arthropods
Prior to 1993, Bartonella bacilliformis was the only member of the Bartonella genus. Now, the genus Bartonella currently contains over 30 species of Gram-negative bacteria that parasitize mammalian erythrocytes and endothelial cells. Bartonella spp. have

Carrion's Disease: More Than a Sand Fly-Vectored Illness
Carrion’s disease is a biphasic illness (S1 Fig) caused by an infection of Bartonella bacilliformis, a bacterium that is transmitted through bites of certain phlebotomine sand flies in the Andean valleys of Peru and in some areas of Ecuador and southern ...

Bartonella Bacilliformis Hfq Regulates Small Rnas
Bartonella bacilliformis is a facultative bacterial intracellular pathogen of the human circulatory system, causing Carrion’s disease. B. bacilliformis is transmitted between human hosts by a sand-fly vector, two markedly distinct backgrounds.
