- In this research, DNA of Bartonella was detected in two types of rodent fleas, indicating that some fleas can be carriers of this bacteria.
- The study found different genetic variants of Bartonella and emphasized the need for further research to understand how these parasites contribute to the spread of Bartonella in rodents and their fleas.
