A total of 112 bats belonging to 19 species were surveyed. <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic> bacteria were cultured from 24.1% of the bats (27\/112). Infection rates ranged from 0% to 100% per bat species. Phylogenetic analyses of <jats:italic>gltA<\/jats:italic> of the <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic> isolates revealed 21 genetic variants clustering into 13 divergent phylogroups. Some <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic> strains were shared by bats of multiple species, and bats of some species were infected with multiple <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic> strains, showing no evident specific <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic> sp.\u2013bat relationships. Rarely found in other bat species, the <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic> strains of phylogroups I and III discovered from the common vampire bats (<jats:italic>Desmodus rotundus<\/jats:italic>) were more specific to the host bat species, suggesting some level of host specificity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2012.12-0097","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,5]],"date-time":"2012-09-05T22:18:59Z","timestamp":1346883539000},"page":"518-523","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Prevalence and Diversity of Bartonella spp. in Bats in Peru"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"Bai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Recuenco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy Turmelle","family":"Gilbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lynn M.","family":"Osikowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Rupprecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael Y.","family":"Kosoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference","first-page":"312","article-title":"Order Chiroptera","author":"Simmons","year":"2005"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"151","article-title":"Emerging pattern of rabies deaths and increased viral infectivity","volume":"9","author":"Messenger","year":"2003"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev","first-page":"531","article-title":"Bats: important reservoir hosts of emerging viruses","volume":"19","author":"Calisher","year":"2006"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"EcoHealth","first-page":"522","article-title":"Correlates of viral richness in bats (order Chiroptera)","volume":"6","author":"Turmelle","year":"2009"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"1269","article-title":"Bartonella spp. in bats, Guatemala","volume":"17","author":"Bai","year":"2011"},{"key":"R6","series-title":"Parasitology","first-page":"324","article-title":"Bartonella species in bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) from western Africa","volume":"139","author":"Billeter","year":"2012"},{"key":"R7","series-title":"Parasitology","first-page":"489","article-title":"Molecular characterization of haemoparasites infecting bats (Microchiroptera) in Cornwall, UK","volume":"131","author":"Concannon","year":"2005"},{"key":"R8","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"1875","article-title":"Discovery of Bartonella bacteria in bats from Kenya","volume":"16","author":"Kosoy","year":"2010"},{"key":"R9","series-title":"J Med Entomol","first-page":"473","article-title":"Detection of Rickettsia, Borrelia, and Bartonella in Carios kelleyi (Acari: Aragasidae)","volume":"42","author":"Loftis","year":"2005"},{"key":"R10","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"964","article-title":"Diversity of bat-associated Leptospira in the Peruvian Amazon inferred by bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA sequences","volume":"73","author":"Matthias","year":"2005"},{"key":"R11","series-title":"J Vector Ecol","first-page":"339","article-title":"Molecular evidence for novel Bartonella species in Trichobius major (Diptera: Streblidae) and Cimex adjunctus (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) from two southeastern bat caves, USA","volume":"30","author":"Reeves","year":"2005"},{"key":"R12","series-title":"J Vector Ecol","first-page":"386","article-title":"Serologic survey of Eptesicus fuscus from Georgia, USA for Rickettsia and Borrelia and laboratory transmission of a Rickettsia by bat ticks","volume":"31","author":"Reeves","year":"2006"},{"key":"R13","series-title":"J Vector Ecol","first-page":"118","article-title":"Association of Bartonella with the fleas (Siphonaptera) of rodents and bats using molecular techniques","volume":"32","author":"Reeves","year":"2007"},{"key":"R14","series-title":"J Med Entomol","first-page":"1179","article-title":"Detection of human blood in the bat tick Carios (Ornithodoros) kelleyi (Acari: Argasidae) in Iowa","volume":"41","author":"Gill","year":"2004"},{"key":"R15","series-title":"Pediatr Infect Dis J","first-page":"163","article-title":"The expanding spectrum of Bartonella infections.
