Bartonella quintanaTransmitted by Head Lice: An Outbreak of Trench Fever in Senegal

26 Dec 2022

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Louse-borne trench fever caused by Bartonella quintana is a neglected public health concern, known to be transmitted from body louse feces via scratching. No viable B. quintana have ever been isolated from head lice before; therefore, their role as a vector is still poorly understood. METHODS: In Senegal, the implementation of a permanent local surveillance system in a point-of-care laboratory (POC)...
