Bat bugs (Cimex adjunctus Barber) (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) collected from big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus Palisot de Beauvoir) in Colorado, United States were assessed for the presence of Bartonella, Brucella, and Yersinia spp. using molecular techniques. No evidence of Brucella or Yersinia infection was found in the 55 specimens collected; however, 4/55 (7.3%) of the specimens were positive for Bartonella DNA. Multi-locus characterization of Bartonella DNA shows that sequences in bat bugs are phylogenetically related to other Bartonella isolates and sequences from European bats.
从美国科罗拉多州的大棕蝠（棕蝠）身上采集的蝙蝠臭虫（巴氏蝙蝠臭虫）（半翅目：臭虫科），使用分子技术评估了巴尔通体、布鲁氏菌和耶尔森菌属的存在情况。在所采集的55个样本中，未发现布鲁氏菌或耶尔森菌感染的证据；然而，4/55（7.3%）的样本巴尔通体DNA呈阳性。巴尔通体DNA的多位点特征分析表明，蝙蝠臭虫中的序列在系统发育上与其他巴尔通体分离株以及欧洲蝙蝠的序列相关。
