Bartonella spp. are putatively vector-borne bacterial agents of humans and animals. Fleas have been incriminated as vectors of Bartonella spp. and are suspected of transmitting Bartonella of rodents and bats, but some of these Bartonella spp. have not yet been directly detected in wild caught fleas. We report the molecular detection of Bartonella tribocorum, Bartonella vinsonii subsp. vinsonii, and two novel genotypes of Bartonella from the fleas Xenopsylla cheopis, Ctenophthalmus pseudagyrtes, Sternopsylla texanus, or Orchopeas howardi.
巴尔通体属细菌被认为是人和动物的媒介传播性细菌病原体。跳蚤被认为是巴尔通体属细菌的传播媒介，并被怀疑传播啮齿动物和蝙蝠的巴尔通体，但其中一些巴尔通体尚未在野外捕获的跳蚤中直接检测到。我们报告了从印鼠客蚤、拟凹眼蚤、德克萨斯狭蚤或豪氏客蚤中分子检测到三波科巴尔通体、文森巴尔通体文森亚种以及两种新型巴尔通体基因型。
