“…In wild ruminants three species of Bartonella have been found so far: B. schoenbuchensis , B. capreoli (Bermond et al 2002) and B. bovis (Chang et al 2000, Maillard et al 2004b. Since new Bartonella species are being found in individual species of hosts, it is conceivable that the ruminants might be the reservoir hosts of other species pathogenic for humans.…”

“…In wild and domestic ruminants, four species of Bartonella have been detected so far: B. schoenbuchensis, B. capreoli, B. bovis and B. chomelii , Bermond et al 2002, Maillard et al 2004a. The aim of this work was to examine if Bartonella bacteria could also be found in the game species from the North-Western Poland, such as roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), in ticks Ixodes ricinus infesting the animals, and in the ticks collected from plants in the hunting area.…”

Wild ruminants in the area of the North-Western Poland as potential reservoir hosts of Bartonella schoenbuchensis and B. bovis

The aim of this work was to examine if the game species from the north-western Poland, roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus) and wild boar (Sus scrofa), may be reservoir hosts of bacteria from the genus Bartonella, and whether the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) is their vector. To this end, the prevalence of Bartonella DNA in the tissues of these game species was measured, just as in sheep ticks (I. ricinus) infesting them, and ticks collected from plants in the hunting area. The prevalence of Bartonella DNA was 39% (23/59) in roe deer and 35% (7/20) in red deer. No Bartonella DNA was detected in any of the 21 wild boars. The presence of Bartonella DNA was detected in 1.9% of ticks infesting roe deer (2/103), while no pathogen DNA was found in the 20 ticks infesting the red deer and the 3 ticks infesting wild boars, or the 200 ticks collected from plants. Amplicons of two different lengths were obtained; 198 bp, characteristic for B. bovis, and 317 bp, characteristic for B. schoenbuchensis, which were confirmed later by sequencing. The examined ruminants are probably the reservoir hosts of B. schoenbuchensis and B. bovis in the biotope of the Puszcza Wkrzañska Forest, and wild boars do not participate in the Bartonella propagation in the environment. I. ricinus is unlikely to be the main vector of Bartonella species detected in the examined roe deer and red deer; probably other bloodsucking arthropods, parasitizing wild ruminants, play this role.

“…B. schoenbuchensis and B. capreoli are commonly isolated from European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) (1,10). B. bovis is widely distributed among cattle in Europe and cattle and wild ruminants in North America (4,5,25) and has been recently isolated from cattle in Africa (17).…”

Effects of Cow Age and Pregnancy on Bartonella Infection in a Herd of Dairy Cattle

Bartonella spp. are small hemotropic bacteria infecting mammals. Four Bartonella species have been recently described in cattle and wild ruminants. To date, the biology and possible pathogenic role of Bartonella species isolated from ruminants are poorly understood. Therefore, a dairy herd of 448 cows and heifers was surveyed in order to establish the prevalence of Bartonella bovis and B. chomelii infections, the level of bacteremia, and the relationship between bacteremia and age or pregnancy status. The putative impact of Bartonella infection on production performance (individual milk cell count, milk yield) and reproductive status (success of artificial insemination [AI], placental retention, embryonic death, and abortion) was also assessed. The overall mean prevalence of B. bovis bacteremia was 59%, with the highest prevalence in heifers (92.5%). No B. chomelii was isolated, and 95% (114/120) of the B. bovis strains isolated and tested by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism belonged to type I. The level of bacteremia was higher in pregnant cows than in nonpregnant cows (P ‫؍‬ 0.05), and the level of bacteremia rose during the last two-thirds of gestation (P < 0.001). There was no correlation between bacteremia and milk yield, individual milk cell count, success of first AI, interval between two calvings, or incidence of abortion and embryonic death. The interval from calving to first AI was shorter and the incidence of placental retention was lower in bacteremic animals than in nonbacteremic ones (P ‫؍‬ 0.03 and P ‫؍‬ 0.01, respectively).

“…Domestic cats appear to be the main reservoir of 3 of these 4 species: B henselae, the predominant agent of cat scratch disease; B clarridgeiae, another possible agent of cat scratch disease; and B koehlerae, isolated from 2 cats in northern California and more recently identified in cat fleas and a pet cat in France. 1,[5][6][7] The fourth species, B weissii (now named B bovis 8 ), was isolated from 4 domestic cats from Utah and Illinois.…”
