Introduction. Bartonellosis is caused by fastidious, gram-negative, intraerythrocytic, arthropod-transmitted bacteria of the genus, Bartonella. Several species infect cats (Bartonella henselae, B. clarridgeiae, B. koehlerae) while B. vinsonii subsp berkhoffii, and to a lesser extent B. henselae, B. clarridgeiae and B. elizabethae, have been ...
B henselae is the most common Bartonella species infecting cats, which are the main reservoir for this bacterium. B henselae is the causative agent of cat scratch disease in man, a self-limiting regional lymphadenopathy.
Bartonella henselae was experimentally transmitted among cats by transferring fleas fed on naturally infected cats to SPF cats, and by intradermal inoculation of excrement collected from fleas fed on B. henselae-infected cats (Chomel et al., 1996).
