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.
