Three strains of a novel Bartonella species (Bartonella tamiae) were isolated from human patients from Thailand. Sequence analysis of six chromosomal regions (16S rRNA, gltA, groEL, ftsZ, rpoB, and the intergenic spacer region) and phenotypical analysis supported the similarity of the three strains and placed them within the genus Bartonella separately from previously described species.

Interest in research on soft ticks has increased in recent decades, leading to valuable insight into their role as disease vectors. The use of metagenomics-based analyses have helped to elucidate ecological factors involved in pathogen, vector, and host dynamics. To understand the main bacterial assemblages present in Ornithodoros cf.

Background And Aim: Bartonellosis is an emerging worldwide zoonosis caused by bacteria belonging to the genus . Several studies have been conducted on the prevalence of infections from animals and humans, including reports from wild and domestic ruminants. However, there has been only one report of infection in water buffaloes from the northeastern part of Thailand.

Article Synopsis
- The genus Bartonella consists of bacteria transmitted primarily by arthropods and linked to various zoonotic diseases in humans and animals, with increasing concern over several less common species beyond the well-known ones like B. henselae.
- A study was conducted on 89 veterinary personnel in Spain to assess Bartonella infections using questionnaires, immunofluorescence assays, and PCR techniques, focusing on both serological and molecular diagnostics.
- Results indicated a varied seroreactivity among different Bartonella species, with the highest response to B. v. berkhoffii and the detection of DNA from multiple Bartonella species in a subset of participants, although no direct correlation was found with clinical symptoms.

The genus Bartonella comprises facultative intracellular bacteria with a unique lifestyle. After transmission by blood-sucking arthropods they colonize the erythrocytes of mammalian hosts causing acute and chronic infectious diseases. Although the pathogen-host interaction is well understood, little is known about the evolutionary origin of the infection strategy manifested by Bartonella species.

Background: In recent years, the scope and importance of emergent vector-borne diseases has increased dramatically. In Algeria, only limited information is currently available concerning the presence and prevalence of these zoonotic diseases. For this reason, we conducted a survey of hematophagous ectoparasites of domestic mammals and/or spleens of wild animals in El Tarf and Souk Ahras, Algeria.
