| bartonella species in fleas from palestinian territories: prevalence and genetic diversity. | bartonellosis is an infectious bacterial disease. the prevalence and genetic characteristics of bartonella spp. in fleas of wild and domestic animals from palestinian territories are described. flea samples (n=289) were collected from 121 cats, 135 dogs, 26 hyraxes and seven rats from northern (n=165), central (n=113), and southern palestinian territories (n=11). the prevalent flea species were: ctenocephalides felis (n=119/289; 41.2%), ctenocephalides canis (n=159/289; 55%), and xenopsylla sp. ... | 2014 | 25424254 |
| infection rates of wolbachia sp. and bartonella sp. in different populations of fleas. | in the present study, a molecular detection of bartonella sp. and wolbachia sp. in ctenocephalides felis (siphonaptera: pulicidae) isolated from canis lupus familiaris from different geographical areas of spain, iran and south africa, and in stenoponia tripectinata tripectinata isolated from mus musculus from the canary islands has been carried out by amplification of the 16s ribosomal rna partial gene of wolbachia sp. and intergenic spacer region (its region) of bartonella sp. a total of 70 % o ... | 2016 | 27515668 |
| molecular detection of zoonotic bartonellae (b. henselae, b. elizabethae and b. rochalimae) in fleas collected from dogs in israel. | fleas represent an acknowledged burden on dogs worldwide. the characterization of flea species infesting kennel dogs from two localities in israel (rehovot and jerusalem) and their molecular screening for bartonella species (rhizobiales: bartonellaceae) was investigated. a total of 355 fleas were collected from 107 dogs. the fleas were morphologically classified and molecularly screened targeting the bartonella 16s-23s internal transcribed spacer (its). of the 107 dogs examined, 80 (74.8%) were ... | 2015 | 25865162 |
