The study aimed to determine the inter and intra-host Bartonella spp. genetic diversity in cats from Chile. ‘Seventy-nine cats’ blood DNA samples qPCR Bartonella spp. positive were subjected to T-A cloning of Bartonella spp. rpoB partial gene (825 bp), and sequencing by Sanger method. The sequences...
