| seroepidemiology of bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection in california coyotes, 1994-1998. | the prevalence of antibodies to bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in coyotes (canis latrans) in california ranged from 51% in central to 34% in southern and 7% in northern california. seropositive coyotes were more likely to be from coastal than inland counties (p clustered distribution of bartonella seropositivity in coyotes suggests that b. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection is vectorborne. further investigation is warranted to evaluate which arthropods are vectors and what the mode of t ... | 1999 | 10511529 |
| coyotes (canis latrans) as the reservoir for a human pathogenic bartonella sp.: molecular epidemiology of bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection in coyotes from central coastal california. | bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was originally isolated from a dog suffering infectious endocarditis and was recently identified as a zoonotic agent causing human endocarditis. following the coyote bite of a child who developed clinical signs compatible with bartonella infection in santa clara county, calif., this epidemiological study was conducted. among 109 coyotes (canis latrans) from central coastal california, 31 animals (28%) were found to be bacteremic with b. vinsonii subsp. berkh ... | 2000 | 11060089 |
| seroepidemiology of bartonella vinsonii subsp berkhoffii exposure among healthy dogs. | to determine seroprevalence of antibodies to bartonella vinsonii subsp berkhoffii and risk factors for seropositivity among working dogs owned by the us government. | 2001 | 11518174 |
| environmental factors associated with bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii seropositivity in free-ranging coyotes from northern california. | bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii is a newly recognized pathogen of domestic dogs and humans. coyotes (canis latrans) are considered an important reservoir of this bacterium in the western united states, but its vectors are still unknown. our objective was to identify environmental factors associated with bartonella antibody prevalence in 239 coyotes from northern california, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. in addition, associations were evaluated between b. v. berkhoffii and two ... | 2005 | 16011426 |
| antibodies to bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in moroccan dogs. | bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii is a fastidious microorganism that has been recognized as an emerging human and canine pathogen. we report for the first time on the prevalence of antibodies to b. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in domestic dogs from morocco. the overall seroprevalence was 38% (56 of 147 dogs tested). most of the seropositive dogs were stray dogs from rabat (36%, 8 of 22) and khenifra (47%, 47 of 101). antibodies against b. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii were found infrequently amon ... | 2006 | 16474074 |
| 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 |
| flea species infesting dogs in florida and bartonella spp. prevalence rates. | several bartonella spp. associated with fleas can induce a variety of clinical syndromes in both dogs and humans. however, few studies have investigated the prevalence of bartonella in the blood of dogs and their fleas. the objectives of this study were to determine the genera of fleas infesting shelter dogs in florida, the prevalence of bartonella spp. within the fleas, and the prevalence of bartonella spp. within the blood of healthy dogs from which the fleas were collected. fleas, serum, and ... | 2014 | 24268654 |
| molecular detection of bartonella species in fleas collected from dogs and cats from costa rica. | the bacterial genus bartonella includes several species with zoonotic potential, some of which are common in domestic dogs and cats, as well as in their fleas. because there is no previous information about the presence of bartonella species in fleas from central america, this study aimed at evaluating the presence of bartonella spp. in fleas collected from dogs and cats in costa rica. a total 72 pools of ctenocephalides felis and 21 pools of pulex simulans were screened by conventional pcr to d ... | 2015 | 26393956 |
