“…It is reported that seroprevalence for antibodies against B. henselae varies between 5 and 80% [4]. Although all cats in the current study did not show clinical signs of Bartonella infection, clinically healthy cats can be a reservoir for CSD for human [6].…”

: In this study, the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma (T.) gondii and Bartonella (B.) henselae infection among stray cats in Daejeon City, Korea was surveyed. A total of seven samples were positive (7/118, 5.93%) for T. gondii including three samples from female cats (3/58, 5.2%) and four samples from male cats (4/60, 6.7%). There was no significant difference between the genders. A total 22 samples (22/118, 18.6%) were positive for B. henselae; nine were from females and 13 were from males. There was no significant difference between genders. Nineteen samples had a titer of 1 : 50, two samples had a titer of 1 : 100, and one sample had a titer of 1 : 200. The present study is the first to use serological tests to analyze B. henselae prevalence among stray cats in Korea.

“…4 Most cats infected with Bartonella are clinically normal, but, Bartonella infections have been associated with fever, anorexia, seizures, tremors and lymphadenopathy. 2 Experimentally infected cats were asymptomatic for more than a year after infection and lesions on gross examination during necropsy were minimal. Histological examination revealed a wide variety of inflammatory lesions including lymphoplasmacytic myocarditis.…”

“…1e3 In the United States, cats are most commonly infected with Bartonella henselae or Bartonella clarridgeiae. 2,3 The prevalence of positive Bartonella antibody titers in domestic cats varies by region of the United States, but an overall seroprevalence of 28% has been reported. 4 Most cats infected with Bartonella are clinically normal, but, Bartonella infections have been associated with fever, anorexia, seizures, tremors and lymphadenopathy.…”

“…7,8 Options for the diagnosis of Bartonella include measurement of Bartonella antibodies, amplification of Bartonella deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or culture of Bartonella organisms from blood or tissues. 2,3 However, definitive diagnosis of Bartonella is difficult as the diagnostic value of each test remains unclear. 2,3 Antibodies against B. henselae generally cross react with B. clarridgeiae and other Bartonella species so a positive antibody test is unable to identify the causative Bartonella species.…”
