Molecular detection and identification of Bartonella in the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis collected from companion animals in a border area in northeastern Argentina

Molecular methods were used to detect and identify Bartonella species in the cat fleas Ctenocephalides felis felis from Puerto Iguazú, a border area in northeastern Argentina. The fleas were collected from 12 household animals, 9 dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and 3 cats (Felis silvestris catus) duri...
