TLDR
A multi-faceted approach resulted in substantial improvement in the microbiological detection and isolation of Bartonella when compared to direct inoculation of a blood agar plate, and may assist in the diagnostic confirmation of bartonellosis in dogs and other animals.About:

Bartonella spp. Infection in Healthy and Sick Horses and Foals from the Southeastern United States
TL;DR: Horses in the southeastern United States are naturally infected with B. berkhofii genotypes I and III, and a bacteria most similar to Candidatus Bartonella volans, and further investigation into the pathogenic potential of Bart onella spp.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that flea-infested dogs may be a reservoir host for Bvb and Br and that ectoparasite control is an important component of shelter intake protocols, and that Pulex fleas may beA vector for dogs and a source for zoonotic transfer of this pathogen from dogs to people.

Erin Lashnits,Maria T. Correa,Barbara C. Hegarty,Adam J. Birkenheuer,Edward B. Breitschwerdt +4 more
TL;DR: Male intact dogs, mixed breed dogs, and dogs exposed to other CVBD have higher seroreactivity to multiple Bartonella species, and geographic patterns supported broad distribution of exposure, and co‐exposure with otherCVBD was common.

TL;DR: The results emphasize the need for routine use of external parasite control products even in regions perceived to have low risk for flea and tick infestations and should be on the differential list for dogs in the Rocky Mountain states.

Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a novel Rochalimaea species, R. henselae sp. nov., isolated from blood of a febrile, human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient.
Russell L. Regnery,Burt E. Anderson,J E Clarridge,Maria C. Rodriguez-Barradas,D C Jones,J H Carr +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that the agent is closely related to members of the genus Rochalimaea and that the isolate is genotypically identical to the presumptive etiologic agent of bacillary angiomatosis.

Bartonella Spp. in Pets and Effect on Human Health
TL;DR: Pets represent a large reservoir for human infection and can be a source of infection for humans and animals alike.

Factors associated with the rapid emergence of zoonotic Bartonella infections.
TL;DR: The factors associated with the emergence of these zoonotic pathogens, including better diagnostic tools and methods to identify these fastidious bacteria, host immunosuppression, the interaction of co-infection by several infectious agents that may enhanced the pathogenecity of these bacteria, increased outdoor activity leading to exposure to wildlife reservoirs or vectors, poverty and low income associated with infestation by various ectoparasites, and finally the dispersal of Bartonellae around the world are reviewed.
