“…in Lipoptena is high. For instance, Bartonella DNA was detected in 85% of wingless adults of L. cervi collected from free-ranging cervids in Norway [ 64 ], and even in 94% of these deer keds collected from roe deer in France [ 35 ]. In Mazury forests (northern part of Poland), Szewczyk et al showed the prevalence of Bartonella sp.…”

Insects of the genus Lipoptena are parasitic arthropods with a broad host range. Due to the type of parasitism (hematophagy), their potential role as vectors of pathogens, i.e., Bartonella sp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Rickettsia spp., and Borrelia burgdorferi is considered. As the range of their occurrence has been changing dynamically in recent years and infestations of humans have increasingly been reported, these organisms are now the subject of numerous studies. Our research aimed to present the molecular characteristics of Bartonella sp. detected in Lipoptena fortisetosa parasitizing wild cervids in south-eastern Poland. Adults of Lipoptena spp. were collected from carcasses of roe deer and red deer between spring and autumn in 2013. The PCR method was used to detect Bartonella sp. in the insects. We report two new haplotypes of the rpoB gene of Bartonella sp. isolated from L. fortisetosa feeding on wild cervids in south-eastern Poland and the presence of this invasive ectoparasitic species in the studied area since 2013. Phylogenetic analyses of newly obtained Bartonella sp. haplotypes confirmed their unique position on the constructed tree and network topology. The rpoB gene sequences found belonging to lineage B support the view that this phylogenetic lineage represents a novel Bartonella species.

“…The same rpoB and gltA Bartonella sequences were also detected in red deer. All analysed blood samples from moose, red deer and wild reindeer were obtained from areas with no confirmed presence of deer ked, a significant vector of Bartonella (Korhonen et al, 2015;Razanske et al, 2018) present in southern Norway (Valimaki et al, 2010). F I G U R E 1 Phylogenetic relationships of Bartonella species inferred from maximum-likelihood phylograms of the alignment of (a) RNA polymerase beta-subunit gene (rpoB) nucleotide sequences of representative Bartonella obtained in this study (marked with red dots) and selected Bartonella sequences retrieved from GenBank, including known species classified in lineages I, II, III and IV.…”

“…At present, there are 5 kinds of Bartonella related to ruminants: B. bovis, B. chomelii, B. schoenbuchensis, B. capreoli, and B. melophagi. An increasing number of Candidatus Bartonella species and different genotypes have been reported in ruminants (4)(5)(6)(7). Previous studies have shown that Bartonella DNA is amplified in ruminant-related blood-eating arthropods, including Hippoboscidae flies from Europe and Algeria (8,9), Stomoxys spp.…”

Bartonella are gram-negative intracellular bacteria; certain species of Bartonella can cause diseases in mammals and humans. Ticks play a major role in the transmission of Bartonella. Xinjiang is the largest province in China according to land area and has one-third of the tick species in China; the infection rate of Bartonella in ticks in the Xinjiang border areas has not been studied in detail. Therefore, this study investigated tick infections by Bartonella in Xinjiang border areas, and the purpose of the study was to fill in gaps in information regarding the genetic diversity of tick infections by Bartonella in Xinjiang. We tested 1,549 tick samples from domestic animals (sheep and cattle) for Bartonella using ribC-PCR. Positive samples from the ribC-PCR assay for Bartonella spp. were further subjected to PCR assays targeting the ITS, rpoB and gltA genes followed by phylogenetic analyses. Bartonella DNA was detected in 2.19% (34/1,549) of tick samples, and the ITS, rpoB and gltA genes of ribC gene-positive samples were amplified to identify nine samples of Bartonella melophagi. In this study, molecular analysis was used to assess the presence and genetic diversity of B. melophagi in ticks collected from sheep and cattle from Xinjiang, China. This study provides new information on the presence and identity of B. melophagi in ticks from sheep and cattle.
