bartonella species in blood of immunocompetent persons with animal and arthropod contact.using pcr in conjunction with pre-enrichment culture, we detected bartonella henselae and b. vinsonii subspecies berkhoffii in the blood of 14 immunocompetent persons who had frequent animal contact and arthropod exposure.200717553243
bartonella henselae in porpoise blood.we report detection of bartonella henselae dna in blood samples from 2 harbor porpoises (phocoena phocoena). by using real-time polymerase chain reaction, we directly amplified bartonella species dna from blood of a harbor porpoise stranded along the northern north carolina coast and from a pre-enrichment blood culture from a second harbor porpoise. the second porpoise was captured out of habitat (in a low-salinity canal along the northern north carolina coast) and relocated back into the ocean. ...200516485476
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 ...200919019574
regional seroreactivity and vector-borne disease co-exposures in dogs in the united states from 2004-2010: utility of canine surveillance.vector-borne disease (vbd) pathogens remain an emerging health concern for animals and humans throughout the world. surveillance studies of ticks and humans have made substantial contributions to our knowledge of vbd epidemiology trends, but long-term vbd surveillance data of dogs in the united states is limited. this seroreactivity study assessed us temporal and regional trends and co-exposures to anaplasma, babesia, bartonella, borrelia burgdorferi, dirofilaria immitis, ehrlichia spp., and spo ...201425325316
bartonella henselae igg antibodies are prevalent in dogs from southeastern usa.in contrast to the large body of literature regarding bartonella henselae in humans and cats, there is little information about b. henselae as an infectious agent in dogs. due to the paucity of information regarding the b. henselae serology in dogs, we performed a cross-sectional serosurvey using b. henselae antigen in order to compare the seroprevalence between sick and healthy dogs from the south-eastern usa. ninety-nine sera were collected from clinically healthy dogs. three hundred and one s ...200415369661
comparative seroreactivity to bartonella henselae and bartonella quintana among cats from israel and north carolina.bartonella henselae, the predominant cause of cat scratch disease, and bartonella quintana, the cause of trench fever, are closely related bartonella species that induce cross-reactivity when cat or human sera are tested using an indirect immunofluorescence antibody (ifa) test. cats are the natural reservoir for b. henselae, whereas a mammalian reservoir host for b. quintana has not been identified. serum samples from 114 cats from israel and 114 cats from north carolina were tested by ifa for s ...19968810011
