“…However, based upon serological evidence, human cases of bartonellosis have also implicated dogs as a source of B. henselae infection [28,52]. B. v. berkhoffii has been detected by PCR in dogs, coyotes and foxes [29,36]; however, the extent to which dogs contribute to the transmission of Bartonella to humans is unknown [24]. In Brazil, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the most prevalent tick that infests dogs [18] also parasitizes humans [17,21].…”

“…By independently targeting the ITS region and pap31 gene with species-specific primers, Dog #2 was found to be co-infected with B. henselae Houston-1 and B. v. berkhoffii type I. The B. v. berkhoffii pap31 sequence from Dog #2 differed in 1 bp among 548 bp from a B. v. berkhoffii type I isolate (Y-12) obtained from a coyote [36] and 3 bp from B. v. berkhoffii type I (strain 93-CO-1, ATCC 51672) isolated from a dog with endocarditis [29]. Targeting a third gene (rpoB), infection with B. v. berkhoffii was confirmed (100% homology (656/656 bp) with strain 93-CO-1).…”

Canine bartonellosis: serological and molecular prevalence in Brazil and evidence of co-infection withBartonella henselaeandBartonella vinsoniisubsp.berkhoffii

-The purpose of this study was to determine the serological and molecular prevalence of Bartonella spp. infection in a sick dog population from Brazil. At the São Paulo State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Botucatu, 198 consecutive dogs with clinicopathological abnormalities consistent with tick-borne infections were sampled. Antibodies to Bartonella henselae and Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii were detected in 2.0% (4/197) and 1.5% (3/197) of the dogs, respectively. Using 16S-23S rRNA intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) primers, Bartonella DNA was amplified from only 1/198 blood samples. Bartonella seroreactive and/or PCR positive blood samples (n = 8) were inoculated into a liquid pre-enrichment growth medium (BAPGM) and subsequently sub-inoculated onto BAPGM/blood-agar plates. PCR targeting the ITS region, pap31 and rpoB genes amplified B. henselae from the blood and/or isolates of the PCR positive dog (ITS: DQ346666; pap31 gene: DQ351240; rpoB: EF196806). B. henselae and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii (pap31: DQ906160; rpoB: EF196805) co-infection was found in one of the B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii seroreactive dogs. We conclude that dogs in this study population were infrequently exposed to or infected with a Bartonella species. The B. henselae and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii strains identified in this study are genetically similar to strains isolated from septicemic cats, dogs, coyotes and human beings from other parts of the world. To our knowledge, these isolates provide the first Brazilian DNA sequences from these Bartonella species and the first evidence of Bartonella co-infection in dogs.dogs / Bartonella infections / heart disease / culture / Brazil

“…Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was originally isolated from a dog suffering infectious endocarditis (Kordick et al 1996) and later was identified as a zoonotic agent causing endocarditis in a human patient (Roux et al 2000). In California, B. v. berkhoffii was detected in coyotes and foxes, with higher prevalence in coyotes, suggesting that coyotes could be an important wildlife reservoir for B. v. berkhoffii (Chang et al 2000).…”

“…Best known of these are B. quintana (trench fever), and B. henselae (cat-scratch disease). Infection with Bartonella species is known to cause lymphadenopathy [17,24,31], neurological disorders [1,22,33], bacillary angiomatosis and bacillary peliosis [9,23,37], endocarditis [4,5,22,24], hepatosplenic involvement, skin lesions, and vertebral osteomyelitis in domestic and wild animals and in humans [22,23,36].…”

Bartonellaspecies detection in captive, stranded and free-ranging cetaceans

-We present prevalence of Bartonella spp. for multiple cohorts of wild and captive cetaceans. One hundred and six cetaceans including 86 bottlenose dolphins (71 free-ranging, 14 captive in a facility with a dolphin experiencing debility of unknown origin, 1 stranded), 11 striped dolphins, 4 harbor porpoises, 3 Risso's dolphins, 1 dwarf sperm whale and 1 pygmy sperm whale (all stranded) were sampled. Whole blood (n = 95 live animals) and tissues (n = 15 freshly dead animals) were screened by PCR (n = 106 animals), PCR of enrichment cultures (n = 50 animals), and subcultures (n = 50 animals). Bartonella spp. were detected from 17 cetaceans, including 12 by direct extraction PCR of blood or tissues, 6 by PCR of
