author keywords: dog; Bartonella; immunosuppression
MeSH headings : Animals; Antigen Presentation / immunology; Apoptosis / immunology; Bartonella / genetics; Bartonella / growth & development; Bartonella Infections / immunology; Bartonella Infections / microbiology; Bartonella Infections / veterinary; CD4-CD8 Ratio; Cytokines / biosynthesis; Cytokines / blood; DNA, Bacterial / chemistry; DNA, Bacterial / isolation & purification; Dog Diseases / immunology; Dog Diseases / microbiology; Dog Diseases / pathology; Dogs; Flow Cytometry / veterinary; Histocytochemistry; Lymph Nodes / immunology; Lymph Nodes / pathology; Lymphocytes / immunology; Phagocytosis / immunology; RNA, Messenger / biosynthesis; RNA, Messenger / genetics; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction / veterinary; Specific Pathogen-Free Organisms; T-Lymphocyte Subsets / immunology
topics (OpenAlex): Bartonella species infections research; Rabies epidemiology and control; Viral Infections and Vectors
TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that B. vinsonii establishes chronic infection in dogs which may result in immune suppression characterized by defects in monocytic phagocytosis, an impaired subset of CD8+ T lymphocytes, and impaired antigen presentation within LN. (via Semantic Scholar)
