Colonization of Lutzomyia verrucarum and Lutzomyia longipalpis Sand Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) by Bartonella bacilliformis, the Etiologic Agent of Carrión's Disease. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Bartonella bacilliformis is a pathogenic bacterium transmitted to humans presumably by bites of phlebotomine sand flies, infection with which results in a bi-phasic syndrome termed Carrión's disease. After constructing a low-passage GFP-labeled strain of

Succinyl-CoA Synthetase: New Antigen Candidate of Bartonella bacilliformis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 Bartonella bacilliformis is the causative agent of Carrion's disease, a neglected illness with mortality rates of 40-85% in the absence of treatment. The lack of a diagnostic technique to overcome misdiagnosis and treat asymptomatic carriers is of note ...

Evaluation of PCR Approaches for Detection of Bartonella bacilliformis in Blood Samples. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 BACKGROUND:The lack of an effective diagnostic tool for Carrion's disease leads to misdiagnosis, wrong treatments and perpetuation of asymptomatic carriers living in endemic areas. Conventional PCR approaches have been reported as a diagnostic technique.
