\\u201cLet\\u2019s do Bartonella next,\\u201d we said. \\u201cIt\\u2019ll be straightforward and fun,\\u201d we promised ourselves. Turns out we were half right. In this fun but not quite straightforward episode, we tackle not one, not two, but three different species of Bartonella bacteria that can cause disease in humans: Bartonella bacilliformis (Carri\\xf3n\\u2019s disease), B. quintana (trench fever), B. henselae (cat scratch disease). Essentially, we\\u2019re giving you three mini-turned-maxisodes for the price of one! For each pathogen, we review its surprisingly strange biology, take a brief tour of its history, and wrap up with a look at its current status across the globe, comparing and contrasting along the way. By the end of this ride, you\\u2019ll be bursting with Bartonella trivia, in awe of dental pulp, and scratching your head about the transmission of cat scratch fever.
