| bartonella bovis bermond et al. sp. nov. and bartonella capreoli sp. nov., isolated from european ruminants. | two novel species of bartonella isolated from european ruminants are described. bartonella capreoli sp. nov. was isolated from the blood of roe-deer (capreolus capreolus) captured in chizé, france. the type strain is ibs 193t (= cip 106691t = ccug 43827t). it is distinct from another european ruminant isolate that originated from a cow from a french herd of 430 dairy cattle. the latter isolate belongs to a novel species named bartonella bovis bermond et al. sp. nov. the type strain is strain 91- ... | 2002 | 11931146 |

| effects of cow age and pregnancy on bartonella infection in a herd of dairy cattle. | bartonella spp. are small hemotropic bacteria infecting mammals. four bartonella species have been recently described in cattle and wild ruminants. to date, the biology and possible pathogenic role of bartonella species isolated from ruminants are poorly understood. therefore, a dairy herd of 448 cows and heifers was surveyed in order to establish the prevalence of bartonella bovis and b. chomelii infections, the level of bacteremia, and the relationship between bacteremia and age or pregnancy s ... | 2006 | 16390945 |

| endocarditis in cattle caused by bartonella bovis. | this study aimed to determine the role of bartonella as an endocarditis agent in cattle. bartonella bovis was identified by pcr, gene sequences analysis, and specific internal transcribed spacer amplicon product size in 2 bovine endocarditis cases with high antibody titers, which demonstrates that b. bovis is a pathogen for cattle. | 2007 | 18252116 |
| feline bartonellosis and cat scratch disease. | bartonella species are important emerging zoonotic pathogens. transmission of these organisms in nature may be much more complex than is currently appreciated. cats can be infected with five bartonella species, including, bartonella henselae, bartonella clarridgeae, bartonella bovis, bartonella koehlerae and bartonella quintana. in addition to cats, numerous domestic and wild animals, including bovine, canine, human, and rodent species can serve as chronically infected reservoir hosts for variou ... | 2008 | 18295347 |
| pcr detection of bartonella bovis and bartonella henselae in the blood of beef cattle. | although an organism primarily associated with non-clinical bacteremia in domestic cattle and wild ruminants, bartonella bovis was recently defined as a cause of bovine endocarditis. the purpose of this study was to develop a b. bovis species-specific pcr assay that could be used to confirm the molecular prevalence of bartonella spp. infection. blood samples from 142 cattle were tested by conventional pcr targeting the bartonella 16s-23s intergenic spacer (its) region. overall, bartonella dna wa ... | 2009 | 19019574 |
| infection and replication of bartonella species within a tick cell line. | bartonella species are fastidious, gram negative bacteria, some of which are transmitted by arthropod vectors, including fleas, sandflies, and lice. there is very little information regarding the interaction and/or transmission capabilities of bartonella species by ticks. in the present study, we demonstrate successful infection of the amblyomma americanum cell line, aae12, by seven bartonella isolates and three candidatus bartonella species by electron or light microscopy. with the exception of ... | 2009 | 19242658 |
| bartonella and babesia infections in cattle and their ticks in taiwan. | bartonella and babesia infections and the association with cattle breed and age as well as tick species infesting selected cattle herds in taiwan were investigated. blood samples were collected from 518 dairy cows and 59 beef cattle on 14 farms and 415 ticks were collected from these animals or in a field. bartonella and babesia species were isolated and/or detected in the cattle blood samples and from a selected subset (n=254) of the ticks either by culture or dna extraction, pcr testing and dn ... | 2010 | 21194750 |
| prevalence and molecular heterogeneity of bartonella bovis in cattle and haemaphysalis bispinosa ticks in peninsular malaysia. | bartonellosis is an emerging zoonotic infection responsible for a variety of clinical syndromes in humans and animals. members of the genus bartonella exhibit high degrees of genetic diversity and ecologic plasticity. the infection is usually transmitted to animals and humans through blood-feeding arthropod vectors such as fleas, lice, ticks and sandflies. this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of bartonella species in 184 beef cattle, 40 dairy cattle, 40 sheep and 40 goats in ei ... | 2015 | 26179499 |
| first description of bartonella bovis in cattle herds in israel. | bartonella bovis has been described in beef and dairy cattle worldwide, however the reported prevalence rates are inconsistent, with large variability across studies (0-89%). this study describes the first isolation and characterization of b. bovis among cattle herds in the middle east. blood samples from two beef cattle herds (each sampled thrice) and one dairy herd (sampled twice) in israel were collected during a 16-months period. overall, 71 of 95 blood samples (75%) grew bartonella sp., wit ... | 2014 | 25096531 |
