| molecular evidence of bartonella infection in domestic dogs from algeria, north africa, by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). | bartonella species are being recognized as important bacterial human and canine pathogens, and are associated with multiple arthropod vectors. bartonella dna extracted from blood samples was obtained from domestic dogs in algiers, algeria. polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and dna sequence analyses of the ftsz gene and the 16s-23s intergenic spacer region (its) were performed. three bartonella species: bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii, bartonella clarridgeiae, and bartonells elizabethae were ... | 2010 | 20682871 |
| prevalence of select vector-borne pathogens in stray and client-owned dogs from algiers. | data on the prevalence of vector-borne diseases agents infecting canines in algeria is currently lacking. the purpose of this study is to assess by serological and molecular methods the prevalence of select arthropod borne-bacterial infections in client-owned and stray dogs. antibodies to anaplasma phagocytophilum were the most prevalent at 47.7%, followed by borrelia burgdorferi s.l. at 37.6%, ehrlichia canis at 30.0%, bartonella henselae at 32.4% and bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii at 27 ... | 2015 | 25638478 |
