Background Species of the genus Bartonella are facultative intracellular
alphaproteobacteria with zoonotic potential. Bartonella infections in humans range from mild …

The processes underlying host adaptation by bacterial pathogens remain a fundamental
question with relevant clinical, ecological, and evolutionary implications. Zoonotic …

Recently, an increasing number of Bartonella species have been emerged to cause human
diseases. Among animal reservoirs for Bartonella spp., bats stand out due to their high …

Background Pathogens face strong selection from host immune responses, yet many host
populations support pervasive pathogen populations. We investigated this puzzle in a model …

Investigation of the prevalence and diversity of Bartonella infections in small mammals in the
Qaidam Basin, western China, could provide a scientific basis for the control and prevention …

The genus Bartonella (Family: Bartonellaceae; Order: Rhizobiales; Class:
Alphaproteobacteria) comprises facultative intracellular Gram-negative, haemotropic, slow …

Small mammals are the natural reservoirs for many zoonotic pathogens. Using molecular
tools, we assessed the prevalence of bacteria and protozoans in small mammals and their …

(1) Background: Bartonella spp. are zoonotic bacteria with small mammals as main
reservoirs. Bartonella spp. prevalence in small mammals from Myanmar and Sri Lanka are …

Parasites, including pathogens, can adapt to better exploit their hosts on many scales,
ranging from within an infection of a single individual to series of infections spanning …

Worldwide, Bartonella species are known to infect a wide range of mammalian and
arthropod hosts, including humans. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of …
