| genetic diversity of bartonella spp. in wild mammals and ectoparasites in brazilian pantanal. | the present work aimed to investigate the genetic diversity of bartonella in mammals and ectoparasites in pantanal wetland, brazil. for this purpose, 31 nasua nasua, 78 cerdocyon thous, 7 leopardus pardalis, 110 wild rodents, 30 marsupials, and 42 dogs were sampled. dna samples were submitted to a quantitative real-time pcr assay (qpcr). positive samples in qpcr were submitted to conventional pcr assays targeting other five protein-coding genes. thirty-five wild rodents and three polygenis (p.) ... | 2018 | 29313064 |
| bartonella jaculi sp. nov., bartonella callosciuri sp. nov., bartonella pachyuromydis sp. nov. and bartonella acomydis sp. nov., isolated from wild rodentia. | four novel strains of members of the genus bartonella, oy2-1(t), br11-1(t), fn15-2(t) and ks2-1(t), were isolated from the blood of wild-captured greater egyptian jerboa (jaculus orientalis), plantain squirrel (callosciurus notatus), fat-tailed gerbil (pachyuromys duprasi) and golden spiny mouse (acomys russatus). all the animals were imported to japan as pets from egypt, thailand and the netherlands. the phenotypic characterization (growth conditions, incubation periods, biochemical properties ... | 2013 | 22941296 |
