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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Current and Future Trends in the Clinical Diagnosis of Rickettsioses Sensu Lato
TL;DR: This review presents Rickettsioses sensu lato, conditions associated with proteobacteria historically included in the Rickettsiaceae family, able to cause a number of conditions, often grave or lethal, and discusses their potential for future use as gold standards in the diagnosis of these diseases.
Book ChapterDOI
The Bartonellaceae, Brucellaceae, and Francisellaceae
TL;DR: This chapter briefly summarizes the knowledge of the taxonomy, epidemiology, and pathobiology of these zoonotic bacteria and describes the immunologic and molecular tools for the laboratory diagnosis of infections caused by these microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solitary idiopathic choroiditis in the setting of extensive animal exposure.
TL;DR: Solitary idiopathic choroiditis is best imaged on enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography as a scleral lesion with "volcanic" configuration and often secondary to previous Bartonella infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfusion transmissible pathogens are prevalent in healthy cats eligible to become blood donors.
I Mesa-Sanchez,Rui R. F. Ferreira,Inês M. Cardoso,M Morais,M Flamínio,Sérgio Lannes Vieira,R. R. de Gopegui,A. J. F. de Matos +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of many transfusion transmissible pathogens was relatively high in this healthy, client-owned, indoor cats eligible to become blood donors, and performing an extended screening panel that includes at least polymerase chain reactions for feline leukaemia virus antigens and feline immunodeficiency virus antibodies, is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious agents, Leptospira spp. and Bartonella spp., in blood donors from Cajamarca, Peru.
Maria J. Pons,Numan Urteaga,Carlos Alva-Urcia,Pedro Lovato,Jaquelyne Silva,Joaquim Ruiz,Del Valle-Mendoza J +6 more
TL;DR: For example, the authors in this paper found that the presence of B. bacilliformis and Leptospira spp. is not routine in high-income countries, whereas the scenario is different in low-income country and in rural areas of middle-income regions, in which access to serological tests is sometimes not feasible or limited by economic factors.

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 Infection in Animals: Carriership, Reservoir Potential, Pathogenicity, and Zoonotic Potential for Human Infection
TL;DR: Considering the extensive animal reservoirs and the large number of insects that have been implicated in the transmission of Bartonella spp.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
