Bartonella Prevalence and Genome Sequences in Rodents in Some Regions of Xinjiang, China

Rodent-borne Bartonella species have been associated with zoonotic diseases. Bartonella species such as Bartonella elizabethae , Bartonella grahamii , and Bartonella tribocorum can cause disease in humans. Humans can be infected by blood-sucking arthropods through the scratches and bites of an infected reservoir host or via contact with infectious rodents.
