 +Lymphatic Circulation Disseminates Bartonella Infection Into Bloodstream  (({{pubmed>long:27803173}}))
  
 +<blockquote>The hallmark of Bartonella infection is long-lasting intraerythrocytic parasitism.
  
-Lymphatic Circulation Disseminates Bartonella Infection Into Bloodstream  (({{pubmed>long:27803173}}))+Bartonella was poorly phagocytized by peritoneal macrophages in vitro. Intracellular Bartonella survived and replicated in macrophages at an early stage of infection. Intracellular Bartonella inhibited spontaneous cell death of macrophages. They also inhibited Salmonella-induced pyroptosis and mildly reduced inflammasome activation through an unidentified mechanism. </blockquote>
      
 Prevalence of Bartonella spp. by culture, PCR and serology, in veterinary personnel from Spain.  (({{pubmed>long:29116007}})) Prevalence of Bartonella spp. by culture, PCR and serology, in veterinary personnel from Spain.  (({{pubmed>long:29116007}}))
 +
 +<blockquote>The genus Bartonella includes fastidious, facultative intracellular bacteria mainly transmitted by arthropods and distributed among mammalian reservoirs. Bartonella spp. implicated as etiological agents of zoonoses are increasing. Apart from the classical Bartonella henselae, B. bacilliformis or B. quintana, other species (B. elizabethae, B. rochalimae, B. vinsonii arupensis and B. v. berkhoffii, B. tamiae or B. koehlerae, among others) have also been associated with human and/or animal diseases.</blockquote>

 +
 +<blockquote>Cats are known to be the main reservoir for Bartonella henselae and Bartonella clarridgeiae, which are the agents of 'cat-scratch disease' in humans.
 +
 +Overall, Bartonella DNA was detected in 4·6% (80/1754) of the cats examined. </blockquote>
