The pathogen best known for causing cat scratch disease is responsible for
a host of serious illnesses in humans that may be misdiagnosed due to lack
of awareness in the medical community.
Researchers studying the Bartonella genus of bacteria say veterinarians
and veterinary staff, along with others who work with animals — including
groomers, trainers and shelter and rescue organization personnel — are at
particular risk of infection owing to their frequent exposure to animals and
animal parasites such as fleas.
"I think it's more common than we think in the veterinary community,"
said Dr. Bruno Chomel, a DVM and professor in the Center for Vectorborne
Diseases at the University of California, Davis.
The scope and significance of Bartonella infection among humans in
veterinary circles and at large is just beginning to be understood.
