Bartonella infections are increasing, with more species causing zoonoses. Domestic cats are primary reservoirs, transmitting Bartonella henselae and B. clarridgeiae via fleas, leading to diverse human health issues.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Veterinary Medicine

Context:

  • Bartonella infections are an emerging public health concern.
  • The number of Bartonella species causing zoonotic diseases has significantly increased.
  • Domestic cats are identified as key reservoirs for Bartonella species.

Purpose:

  • To present current knowledge on the etiology of Bartonella infections.
  • To describe the clinical features associated with Bartonella infections.
  • To outline the epidemiological characteristics of these emerging zoonotic diseases.

Summary:

  • Human Bartonella infections are on the rise, with seven species now recognized as zoonotic, a notable increase from one a decade ago.
  • Bartonella henselae is linked to numerous unexplained clinical conditions.

  • Cats act as asymptomatic carriers of B. henselae and B. clarridgeiae, potentially harboring bacteria for extended periods and transmitting them via fleas.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the growing threat of Bartonella as emerging zoonotic pathogens.
    • Emphasizes the critical role of domestic cats and fleas in the transmission cycle.
    • Provides a foundation for understanding and managing Bartonella-related diseases in humans and animals.
