Bartonella Basics: 4-species IFA serology panel

Why is it important to test for antibodies against multiple Bartonella spp?
What symptoms do you see with Bartonella infection? Why is Bartonella koehlerae an important species to test for? How is Bartonella serology used in research? Why is it important to test for both antibodies and DNA?
Dr. Ed Breitschwerdt, DVM, DACVIM, is globally recognized as a leading expert on bartonellosis, a collection of zoonotic diseases stemming from Bartonella bacteria. Following best practices established at North Carolina State University (NCSU), Galaxy Diagnostics offers the broadest antibody screening commercially available: the 4-species IFA serology panel. The panel targets B. henselae, B. vinsonii berkhoffii , B. koehlerae, and B. quintana-the four species that show the most DNA prevalence in NCSU studies.
