Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii is a fastidious microorganism that has been recognized as an emerging human and canine pathogen. We report for the first time on the prevalence of antibodies to B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in domestic dogs from Morocco. The overall seroprevalence was 38% (56 of 147 dogs tested). Most of the seropositive dogs were stray dogs from Rabat (36%, 8 of 22) and Khenifra (47%, 47 of 101). Antibodies against B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii were found infrequently among pet dogs from Rabat (4%, 1 of 24).
文森氏巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种是一种苛求性微生物,已被公认为一种新出现的人类和犬类病原体。我们首次报告了摩洛哥家犬中抗文森氏巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种抗体的流行情况。总体血清阳性率为38%(147只受试犬中有56只)。大多数血清阳性犬是来自拉巴特(36%,22只中有8只)和海尼夫拉(47%,101只中有47只)的流浪犬。在来自拉巴特的宠物犬中很少发现抗文森氏巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种的抗体(4%,24只中有1只)。
