| transmission dynamics of bartonella sp. strain oe 1-1 in sundevall's jirds (meriones crassus). | a high prevalence of bartonella infection is found in many natural systems; however, the transmission dynamics leading to observations of these infections is not fully understood. the capability of xenopsylla ramesis fleas to serve as competent vectors of bartonella sp. oe 1-1 (a strain closely related to the zoonotic bartonella elizabethae) to meriones crassus jirds was investigated. naïve x. ramesis fleas were placed for 72 h on naïve jirds or jirds that were either experimentally or naturally ... | 2013 | 23241972 |
