    Diversity and dynamics of rodent-borne Bartonella bacteria are regulated by rodent community and host population parameters
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2008) Bai, Ying, author; Calisher, Charles H., advisor; Kosoy, Michael Y., advisor
    Bartonella infections are widely distributed in rodents of many species with high prevalences and high genetic diversity. Some rodent-associated bartonellae are also associated with human illnesses. After reviewing the current knowledge of bartonellae (Chapter 1), this dissertation focuses on analyses of associations of bartonellae with their rodent hosts in order to understand how dynamics and diversity of bartonellae are regulated by parameters of rodent communities and populations (Chapter 2).
