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 ...
