“…Sixteen individuals (9.35%) (nine from Taterillus sp., four from A. niloticus, and three from M. erythroleucus) were positive. This global prevalence is particularly similar to those previously reported 9%) [40]. Diagne et al [19] previously reported Bartonella spp.…”

“…Among those known to be potentially zoonotic, we can cite B. tribocorum, B. grahamii, B. elizabethae, B. vinsonii subsp. arupensis, B. washoensis, and B. alsatica [40]. In addition, in rodents' ectoparasites, a high prevalence of zoonotic bartonellosis agents were found (43.75% of B. elizabethae in Stenoponia tripectinata tripectinata) [41].…”

“…The amplicons give three potentially new genotypes. Several studies showed different genotypes of the same species [40] or even new species [19]. The first new genotype with 92% of homology with B. pachyuromydis AB602561 (the closest validated species) was detected in four rodents, three Taterillus sp., and one M. erythroleucus).…”

Rodents as Hosts of Pathogens and Related Zoonotic Disease Risk

Rodents are known to be reservoir hosts for at least 60 zoonotic diseases and are known to play an important role in their transmission and spread in different ways. We sampled different rodent communities within and around human settlements in Northern Senegal, an area subjected to major environmental transformations associated with global changes. Herein, we conducted an epidemiological study on their bacterial communities. One hundred and seventy-one (171) invasive and native rodents were captured, 50 from outdoor trapping sites and 121 rodents from indoor habitats, consisting of five species. The DNA of thirteen pathogens was successfully screened on the rodents’ spleens. We found: 2.3% of spleens positive to Piroplasmida and amplified one which gave a potentially new species Candidatus “Theileria senegalensis”; 9.35% of Bartonella spp. and amplified 10, giving three genotypes; 3.5% of filariasis species; 18.12% of Anaplasmataceae species and amplified only 5, giving a new potential species Candidatus “Ehrlichia senegalensis”; 2.33% of Hepatozoon spp.; 3.5% of Kinetoplastidae spp.; and 15.2% of Borrelia spp. and amplified 8 belonging all to Borrelia crocidurae. Some of the species of pathogens carried by the rodents of our studied area may be unknown because most of those we have identified are new species. In one bacterial taxon, Anaplasma, a positive correlation between host body mass and infection was found. Overall, male and invasive rodents appeared less infected than female and native ones, respectively.

Bartonella in Rodents and Ectoparasites in the Canary Islands, Spain: New Insights into Host–Vector–Pathogen Relationships

et al. 2017

Bartonella genus is comprised of several species of zoonotic relevance and rodents are reservoirs for some of these Bartonella species. As there were no data about the range of Bartonella species circulating among rodents in the Canary Islands, our main aim was to overcome this lack of knowledge by targeting both the citrate synthase (gltA) and the RNA polymerase beta subunit (rpoB) genes. A total of 181 small mammals and 154 ectoparasites were obtained in three of the Canary Islands, namely Tenerife, La Palma, and Lanzarote. The overall prevalence of Bartonella DNA in rodents was 18.8%, whereas the prevalence in ectoparasites was 13.6%. Bartonella sequences closely related to the zoonotic species Bartonella elizabethae, Bartonella tribocorum, and Bartonella rochalimae were identified in rodents, whereas two different gltA haplotypes similar to B. elizabethae were also detected in fleas. Furthermore, Bartonella queenslandensis DNA was also identified in rodents. A strong host specificity was observed, since B. elizabethae DNA was only found in Mus musculus domesticus, whereas gltA and rpoB sequences closely related to the rest of Bartonella species were only identified in Rattus rattus, which is probably due to the host specificity of the arthropod species that act as vectors in these islands. Our results indicate that humans may contract Bartonella infection by contact with rodents in the Canary Islands.
