Bartonellosis is a constellation of clinical conditions affecting human beings and a variety of animals. Many Bartonella infections are zoonotic, with some of the most commonly reported zoonotic manifestations of infection including cat scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, endocarditis, and neuroretinitis. Companion animals serve as reservoirs for several zoonotic species of Bartonella, and may also serve as sentinels for zoonotic Bartonella species harbored by wildlife. This article provides an overview of bartonellosis of dogs and cats, and discusses public health implications of animal bartonellosis.
巴尔通体病是一组影响人类和多种动物的临床病症。许多巴尔通体感染是动物源性的,其中一些最常见的动物源性感染表现包括猫抓病、杆菌性血管瘤病、心内膜炎和神经视网膜炎。伴侣动物是几种动物源性巴尔通体物种的宿主,也可能是野生动物携带的动物源性巴尔通体物种的哨兵。本文概述了犬猫巴尔通体病,并讨论了动物巴尔通体病的公共卫生意义。
