Access Medical Resources for Pathogen Testing
Approximately 75% of emerging infectious diseases affecting humans are zoonotic (transmitted from animals to humans). Vectors (e.g., fleas, ticks, lice, biting flies, etc.) play an important role in transmitting zoonotic infections. Individuals at high-risk of acquiring Bartonella infection include those who work or live with animals, or those with high exposure to fleas, ticks, lice and biting flies. Stealth infections such as Bartonella are increasingly implicated in complex chronic disease syndromes, yet are extremely difficult to diagnose accurately. Many of these infections can be transmitted to humans by companion animals, including dogs, cats, horses and other pets.
