The Lancet, 1918 Experimental Work We now turn to our experimental work, undertaken, first, to determine the mode of transmission of trench fever. MODE OF TRANSMISSION That the disease was transmissible from man to man was shown by McNee and his fellow workers when they passed on the infection by means of the syringe, injecting the blood from a trench fever patient ...

Pathological investigation and microbiological confirmation of Bartonella quintana endocarditis: A case of trench fever without the trench or fever [PDF]
IDCasesBartonella quintana is a louse-borne Gram-negative bacterium first discovered as the cause of trench fever during World War I. As B. quintana is not identified using routine culture with 5-day incubation, the pathogen is an agent of blood culture ...

Competence of Cimex lectularius Bed Bugs for the Transmission of Bartonella quintana, the Agent of Trench Fever. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 BACKGROUND:Bartonella quintana, the etiologic agent of trench fever and other human diseases, is transmitted by the feces of body lice. Recently, this bacterium has been detected in other arthropod families such as bed bugs, which begs the question of ...
