Exploring the Zoonotic Risk of Bartonella henselae : A Serological and Molecular Investigation of Veterinary Personnel and Companion Cats in South Korea
Bartonella species are known as candidates for zoonotic transmission, and cats serve as the main reservoir for Bartonella henselae , the primary causative agent of cat scratch disease (CSD). However, research on the transmission of bartonellosis to humans remains very limited. In East Asia, there is a lack of comprehensive studies regarding the prevalence of B. henselae infection and its associated risk factors among companion cats, their owners, and individuals working in veterinary professions. This study aimed to investigate both the molecular and seroprevalence of B. henselae in veterinary personnel and companion cats in South Korea, along with a questionnaire‐based analysis of transmission risk factors. Blood and saliva samples were collected from humans, whereas blood, saliva, claw, and fecal samples were obtained from cats. Seroprevalence and molecular prevalence were measured for all these samples. Additionally, participants were required to complete an epidemiological information questionnaire related to CSD. The study enrolled 300 veterinary professionals and 126 companion cats owned by them. The serum IgG prevalence in humans was 64.6% (190/294), whereas, in cats, it was 5.5% (6/108). The molecular prevalence in human blood and saliva was 3% (9/298) and 1.7% (5/298), respectively. In cats, it was 10.1% (12/119) for blood, 0% (0/123) for saliva, 1.7% (2/119) for nails, and 4.5% (5/112) for feces. Phylogenetic analysis of the PCR‐positive samples confirmed that all of them were B. henselae . This study demonstrates that Bartonella species are widespread among veterinary professionals in South Korea, highlighting their significance as zoonotic pathogens. Given the potential for indirect transmission from cats, enhancing awareness of Bartonella exposure risk among veterinary personnel is warranted, along with emphasizing preventive education for cat owners, including strict ectoparasite control.

Bartonella infections in cats and dogs including zoonotic aspects
Bartonellosis is a vector-borne zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution that can infect humans and a large number of mammals including small companion animals (cats and dogs). In recent years, an increasing number of studies from around the world have reported
Bartonella
infections, although publications have predominantly focused on the North American perspective. Currently, clinico-pathological data from Europe are more limited, suggesting that bartonellosis may be an infrequent or underdiagnosed infectious disease in cats and dogs. Research is needed to confirm or exclude
Bartonella
infection as a cause of a spectrum of feline and canine diseases.
Bartonella
spp. can cause acute or chronic infections in cats, dogs and humans. On a comparative medical basis, different clinical manifestations, such as periods of intermittent fever, granulomatous inflammation involving the heart, liver, lymph nodes and other tissues, endocarditis, bacillary angiomatosis, peliosis hepatis, uveitis and vasoproliferative tumors have been reported in cats, dogs and humans. The purpose of this review is to provide an update and European perspective on
Bartonella
infections in cats and dogs, including clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, pathological, treatment and zoonotic aspects.
