| bartonella chomelii sp. nov., isolated from french domestic cattle (bos taurus). | two strains of bacteria isolated from the blood of french domestic cows were found to be similar to bartonella species on the basis of phenotypic characteristics. genotypic analysis based on sequence comparison of the 16s rrna and citrate synthase (glta) genes and on dna-dna hybridization showed that the two isolates represent a distinct and new species of bartonella. moreover, the phylogenetic analysis inferred from comparison of 16s rrna and glta sequences demonstrated that the new bartonella ... | 2004 | 14742483 |
| bartonellae in animals and vectors in new caledonia. | bartonellae are gram-negative facultative intracellular alpha-proteobacteria from the family bartonellaceae. the natural history of bartonellae consists of a reservoir/host, which is a vertebrate with chronic intravascular infection with sustained bacteremia, and a vector (usually an arthropod) that transfers the bacteria from the reservoir to a susceptible yet uninfected host. in order to reveal the sources and reservoirs of bartonella infection in animals and vectors in new caledonia, we colle ... | 2011 | 22018646 |
| identification of different bartonella species in the cattle tail louse (haematopinus quadripertusus) and in cattle blood. | bartonella spp. are worldwide-distributed facultative intracellular bacteria that exhibit an immense genomic diversity across mammal and arthropod hosts. the occurrence of cattle-associated bartonella species was investigated in the cattle tail louse haematopinus quadripertusus and in dairy cattle blood from israel. lice were collected from cattle from two dairy farms during summer 2011, and both lice and cow blood samples were collected from additional seven farms during the successive winter. ... | 2014 | 24973066 |
| bartonella chomelii is the most frequent species infecting cattle grazing in communal mountain pastures in spain. | the presence of bartonella spp. was investigated in domestic ungulates grazing in communal pastures from a mountain area in northern spain, where 18.3% (17/93) of cattle were found to be positive by pcr combined with a reverse line blot (pcr/rlb), whereas sheep (n = 133) or horses (n = 91) were found not to be infected by this pathogen. bartonella infection was significantly associated with age, since older animals showed a higher prevalence than heifers and calves. in contrast to other studies, ... | 2014 | 25381240 |
| bartonella, rodents, fleas and ticks: a molecular field study on host-vector-pathogen associations in saxony, eastern germany. | bartonellae cause zoonotic diseases and are transmitted by arthropods. rodents are reservoirs for most bartonella spp. as the knowledge about bartonella in rodents and their parasitizing ectoparasites is scarce in germany, this study's objectives were to investigate bartonella spp. in small mammals and in their ectoparasites. a total of 79 small mammals (seven species) were captured and their ectoparasites collected at seven sites around leipzig, saxony, germany, in 2010 and 2011. altogether, 79 ... | 2016 | 27220973 |
