These bacteria are primarily maintained in animal reservoirs and transmitted to humans through direct contact or via haematophagous vectors.

This highlights the importance of studying both hosts, which may serve as reservoirs for\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n species and potentially contribute to the emergence of zoonotic diseases.
