In conjunction with efforts to assess pathogen exposure in feral pigs from the southeastern United States, we amplified Bartonella henselae, B. koehlerae, and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii from blood samples. Feral pigs may represent a zoonotic risk for hunters or butchers and pose a potential threat to domesticated livestock.read more

TL;DR: Clinicians and vector biologists should consider the possibility that rat mites may play a role in Bartonella spp.

Bartonella quintana in Ethiopian lice.
TL;DR: The higher numbers of infected head lice pools compared with clothing lice suggests their competence for maintaining this infection within Ethiopia, and their identity as Bartonella quintana is suggested.

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.

Vector transmission of Bartonella species with emphasis on the potential for tick transmission.
TL;DR: A review of Bartonella transmission by sandflies, lice and fleas, the potential for transmission by other vectors, and data supporting transmission by ticks suggests there is substantial opportunity for the potential uptake of these blood‐borne bacteria by a variety of arthropod vectors that feed on animals and people.

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.
