This study investigates the presence, genetic diversity, and tissue tropism of\n                    <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    in bats and their ectoparasites along the China\u2013Myanmar border. Bats and ectoparasites were collected from Yingjiang, Ruili, and Gengma Counties. Nested PCR (nPCR) and quantitative real\u2010time PCR (qPCR) were used to detect and quantify\n                    <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    in bat tissues.\n                    <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    was isolated using brain\u2013heart infusion broth and tryptone soy agar medium containing 5% sheep blood (TSA containing 5% sheep blood), and DNA sequences were analyzed with Clustal W and MEGA X. In total, 601 bats from 11 species (four families and seven genera) and 32 ectoparasites (two orders, three families, and four genera) were collected. The qPCR results revealed\n                    <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    detection rates of 22.96% (138\/601) in bats and 62.50% (5\/8) in ectoparasites.

When comparing bats, ectoparasites, and isolated strains to other\n                    <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    in GenBank, the\n                    <jats:italic>gltA<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene was 74.21%\u2013100.00% at the nucleotide level of similarity and 75.70%\u2013100.00% at the amino acid level.
