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:

TL;DR: It is concluded that dogs in this study population were infrequently exposed to or infected with a Bartonella species, genetically similar to strains isolated from septicemic cats, dogs, coyotes and human beings from other parts of the world.

TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that dogs from Grenada are infected with multipletick-borne pathogens; therefore, tick-borne diseases should be included as differentials for dogs exhibiting thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, fever, or lethargy.
