    Study Notes

    Zoonotic Bacteria Overview

    • Zoonotic bacteria are pathogens transmitted from animals to humans, often through vectors like insects or direct contact with infected animals.

    Anaplasma spp

    • Causes: Anaplasmosis
    • Transmission: Spread by Ixodes ticks, which typically breed on deer and mice.

    Bartonella spp

    • Causes: Cat scratch disease and bacillary angiomatosis
    • Transmission: Primarily through scratches or bites from infected cats.

    Borrelia Burgdorferi

    • Causes: Lyme disease
    • Transmission: Transmitted via Ixodes ticks, notably those that also live on deer and mice.

    Borrelia Recurrentis

    • Causes: Relapsing fever
    • Transmission: Spread by lice, characterized by recurrent episodes due to changing surface antigens.

    Brucella spp

    • Causes: Brucellosis, also known as undulant fever
    • Transmission: Associated with unpasteurized dairy products, inhalation or contact with infected animal tissues, and feces from infected pets. Contaminated meats and food can also be sources.

    Campylobacter

    • Causes: Bloody diarrhea
    • Transmission: While specific transmission routes are not provided, it is commonly found in contaminated food, especially poultry.

    Chlamydophila Psittaci

    • Causes: Psittacosis
    • Transmission: Primarily associated with exposure to parrots and other birds.

    Coxiella Burnetii

    • Causes: Q fever
    • Transmission: Spread through aerosols from the amniotic fluid of infected cattle and sheep.

    Ehrlichia Chaffeensis

    • Causes: Ehrlichiosis
    • Transmission: Spread by the Amblyomma tick, commonly known as the Lone Star tick.

    Francisella Tularensis

    • Causes: Tularemia
    • Transmission: Transmitted through various vectors, including ticks, and contact with infected animals like rabbits.

    Leptospira spp

    • Causes: Leptospirosis
    • Transmission: Typically through contact with water contaminated by animal urine or direct contact with infected animals.
