BACKGROUND
Bartonella spp. are emerging zoonotic agents that have been found in a wide variety of domestic animals and wildlife and cause a number of clinical syndromes. Bartonella sp. infection has been identified in a growing number of animal species, including cats, rodents, porpoises, and canids, but has not been reported in horses.
OBJECTIVE
To document the presence of Bartonella sp. in the blood of horses.
ANIMALS
One horse with chronic arthropathy and 1 horse with presumptive vasculitis.
METHODS
Blood samples were tested for the presence of Bartonella sp. by a combination of multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction and enrichment culture technique.
RESULTS
Bartonella henselae was isolated or detected in the blood of both horses.
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
Bartonella henselae infection should be investigated as the cause of disease in horses.
背景
巴尔通体属是新出现的人畜共患病病原体，已在多种家畜和野生动物中被发现，并可引发多种临床综合征。巴尔通体属感染已在越来越多的动物物种中被确认，包括猫、啮齿动物、鼠海豚和犬科动物，但尚未在马中报道。
目的
记录马血液中巴尔通体属的存在情况。
动物
1匹患有慢性关节病的马和1匹疑似血管炎的马。
方法
采用多重实时聚合酶链反应和富集培养技术相结合的方法检测血液样本中巴尔通体属的存在情况。
结果
在两匹马的血液中均分离或检测到汉赛巴尔通体。
结论及临床意义
应调查汉赛巴尔通体感染作为马疾病病因的情况。
