Overview
Carrión's disease, or Oroya fever, or Peruvian Wart is a rare infectious disease found only in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.[1] It is endemic in some areas of Peru,[2] and is caused by infection with the bacterium Bartonella bacilliformis and transmitted by sandflies of genus Lutzomyia.
Cat scratch disease is a worldwide disease.rvoir of Bartonella henselae (etiologic agent).[3]
Trench fever is produced by Bartonella quintana infection, and the bacterium is transmitted by the human body louse Pediculus humanus corporis. Humans are the only known reservoir.[4]
