Bartonellosis is caused by an infection with the proteobacterium, Bartonella. Several species of Bartonella cause disease in humans.

Bartonella quintana causes trench fever and is transmitted from a cat to humans, and from human to humans by a louse. Bartonella henselae is the causative agent for Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) and has also been known to cause bacillary angiomatosis, peliosis hepatis, bacteremia, and endocarditis in immunocompromised individuals. CSD is most often transmitted to humans via a cat bite or scratch. The cat gets infected through a flea bite. In recent years it has been thought that B. henselae may also be a tick-borne pathogen and can be present in the same tick that transmits pathogens causing Lyme disease, Relapsing Fever, Babesiosis, and Ehrlichiosis. Currently some of the other Bartonella species known to cause human disease are B. elizabethae, B. washoensis, B. vinsonii, B. koehlare, and B. alsatica.
