| isolation of bartonella rattimassiliensis sp. nov. and bartonella phoceensis sp. nov. from european rattus norvegicus. | thirty-three isolates of bartonella spp., including 11 isolates not belonging to previously known species, were isolated from 66 rattus norvegicus subjects trapped in the city of marseille, france. based on seven different gene sequences, the 11 isolates were assigned to bartonella rattimassiliensis sp. nov. and bartonella phoceensis sp. nov. | 2004 | 15297537 |
| prevalence and genetic heterogeneity of bartonella strains cultured from rodents from 17 provinces in thailand. | to study the distribution and diversity of bartonella in rodents from thailand, 330 rodents belonging to 13 species were tested. the majority (80.6%) of rodents examined belonged to the genus rattus. bartonellae were cultured from 41.5% of the rodents with a wide range of prevalence by host species and regions. sequencing of glta revealed diverse bartonella strains. bartonellae from rattus spp. belonged to 23 variants and clustered with bartonella coopersplainensis, bartonella elizabethae, barto ... | 2009 | 19861616 |
| bartonella species identified in rodent and feline hosts from island and mainland western australia. | bacteria of the genus bartonella have been described in multiple mammalian hosts with many species capable of causing disease in humans. cats and various species of rats have been reported to play a role as vertebrate hosts to a number of bartonella spp. this study aimed to identify bartonella spp. in western australia, dirk hartog island (dhi), and christmas island (ci) and to investigate the presence of potential arthropod vectors. feral cats were collected from ci (n = 35), dhi (n = 23) and s ... | 2016 | 26900749 |
| bartonella infection in shelter cats and dogs and their ectoparasites. | abstract mainly through vector transmission, domestic cats and dogs are infected by several bartonella spp. and represent a large reservoir for human infections. this study investigated the relationship of prevalences of bartonella infection in shelter dogs and cats and various ectoparasite species infesting them (fleas, ticks, and lice). moreover, relationships between bartonella infection and animal gender and age and presence of ectoparasites were analyzed. blood samples were collected from 1 ... | 2010 | 21142966 |
| bartonella species in small mammals and their ectoparasites in taiwan. | bartonella spp. prevalence in small mammals and their ectoparasites was investigated in taiwan. blood samples were obtained from 66 rats, 20 shrews, 276 mites (laelaps spp.), 74 fleas (xenopsylla cheopis), 81 lice (polyplax spp.), and 47 ticks (41 dermacentor spp. and 6 ixodes spp.). bartonellae were isolated or detected in 27 (31.4%) animals. bartonella dna was detected in 48 (64.9%) fleas and 11 (64.7%) pooled lice samples, but not in mite and tick samples. bartonella phoceensis, b. queensland ... | 2010 | 20889892 |
| epidemiology of bartonella infection in rodents and shrews in taiwan. | during the period of august 2002 and november 2004, an epidemiological investigation for bartonella infection was conducted in small mammals in taiwan. using whole blood culture on chocolate agar plates, bartonella species were successfully isolated from 41.3% of the 310 animals tested. the isolation rate of bartonella species varied among different animal species, including 52.7% of the 169 rattus norvegicus, 28.6% of the 126 sucus murinus, 10% of the 10 rattus rattus and 66.7% of the three rat ... | 2010 | 19538457 |
