| seroepidemiology of bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection in california coyotes, 1994-1998. | the prevalence of antibodies to bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in coyotes (canis latrans) in california ranged from 51% in central to 34% in southern and 7% in northern california. seropositive coyotes were more likely to be from coastal than inland counties (p clustered distribution of bartonella seropositivity in coyotes suggests that b. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection is vectorborne. further investigation is warranted to evaluate which arthropods are vectors and what the mode of t ... | 1999 | 10511529 |
| bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii as an agent of afebrile blood culture-negative endocarditis in a human. | we report a case of endocarditis in a human infected with bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii, which causes bacteremia and endocarditis in dogs. bacterial identification was established by pcr amplification and sequencing of an intergenic spacer region (its1), 16s ribosomal dna, and a gene encoding citrate synthase (glta). bartonella antibodies were detected by immunofluorescence. | 2000 | 10747175 |
| environmental factors associated with bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii seropositivity in free-ranging coyotes from northern california. | bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii is a newly recognized pathogen of domestic dogs and humans. coyotes (canis latrans) are considered an important reservoir of this bacterium in the western united states, but its vectors are still unknown. our objective was to identify environmental factors associated with bartonella antibody prevalence in 239 coyotes from northern california, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. in addition, associations were evaluated between b. v. berkhoffii and two ... | 2005 | 16011426 |
| co-isolation of bartonella henselae and bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii from blood, joint and subcutaneous seroma fluids from two naturally infected dogs. | this report describes the clinical presentation, isolation and treatment of two dogs naturally infected with bartonella henselae and bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii. chronic and progressive polyarthritis was the primary complaint for dog #1, from which b. henselae and b. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii were cultured on three independent occasions from blood and joint fluid samples, despite administration of nearly 4 months of non-consecutive antibiotic therapy. a clinically atypical and progres ... | 2009 | 19560291 |
| detection and genetic diversity of bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii strains isolated from dogs in ankara, turkey. | bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii has been identified as an important pathogen in dogs and is an emerging pathogen in people with zoonotic potential. this study aimed to isolate bartonella spp. in 250 blood samples collected from dogs in the province of ankara, turkey, between october 2006 and march 2007. the typing of the 23 isolates was carried out by pcr for citrate synthase (glta) and the 16s-23s intergenic transcribed spacer (its). the prevalence of bacteremia was 9.2% in 250 samples. a ... | 2010 | 20234114 |
