Flea-borne Bartonella grahamii and Bartonella taylorii in bank voles.(Research)

From: Emerging Infectious Diseases | Date: April 1, 2004| Author: | Copyright information

Bartonella species are increasingly associated with a range of human and animal diseases. Despite this, we have a poor understanding of the ecology and epidemiology of many species, especially those circulating in wild populations. Previous studies have demonstrated that a diverse range of Bartonella species are abundant in wild rodent populations; little is known regarding their modes of transmission, although both direct and indirect routes have been suggested. In this study, with bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) as the host species, we demonstrate that the rodent flea ...
