| an unmatched case controlled study of clinicopathologic abnormalities in dogs with bartonella infection. | we compared clinicopathologic findings in dogs with bartonella infection to bartonella spp. negative dogs suspected of a vector-borne disease. cases (n=47) and controls (n=93) were selected on the basis of positive or negative enrichment culture pcr results, respectively. signalment, clinicopathologic findings and treatments were extracted from medical records. dna sequencing identified bartonella henselae (n=28, 59.6%), bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii (n=20, 42.6%), bartonella koehlerae ( ... | 2013 | 23683861 |
| bartonella spp. infection in healthy and sick horses and foals from the southeastern united states. | bartonella species bacteremia has been identified in numerous animal species. these bacteria cause, or have been associated with, a spectrum of clinical manifestations in dogs and human patients. the frequency of exposure to or infection with bartonella spp. among healthy and sick horses has not been reported. | 2016 | 22998229 |
| molecular and serological diagnosis of bartonella infection in 61 dogs from the united states. | background: molecular diagnosis of canine bartonellosis can be extremely challenging and often requires the use of an enrichment culture approach followed by pcr amplification of bacterial dna. hypotheses: (1) the use of enrichment culture with pcr will increase molecular detection of bacteremia and will expand the diversity of bartonella species detected. (2) serological testing for bartonella henselae and bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii does not correlate with documentation of bacteremia ... | 2011 | 21615498 |
