Bartonella B. henselae was detected in feral cat blood saliva and nail samples. B. henselae was also detected in pet cat blood saliva and nail samples and in pet dog blood saliva and nail samples. Nine samples were infected with B. clarridgeiae and 2 were co-infected with B. henselae and B. clarridgeiae of blood samples of dogs. This report is the first to investigate the prevalence of B. henselae and B. clarridgeiae in dogs and cats in Korea and suggests that dogs and cats may serve as potential Bartonella reservoirs. Keywords Bartonella cats cat-scratch disease dogs Korea Introduction The genus Bartonella B. includes at least 20 species and subspecies and several of these are human pathogens 22 . Clinical manifestations of Bartonella infection include Carrion s disease trench fever cat scratch disease bacillary angiomatosis endocarditis chronic bacteremia neuroreti nitis and osteomyelitis 13 . Cat scratch disease is zoonotic and primarily caused by B. henselae 15 . B. clarridgeiae can also cause cat scratch fever. B. henselae and B. clarridgeiae can also infect dogs 4 7 and both species can function as bacterial .
