Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the presence of Bartonella species in African giant pouched rats and their fleas in Dakar, Senegal.
- Researchers captured 20 rats and identified 1117 fleas, successfully detecting DNA from Bartonella in 148 of 170 fleas and isolating strains from 17 rats.
- The findings suggest that the isolated strains include known species and potentially new species, which may pose a public health risk in the area due to their high prevalence of infection.
