我们调查了巴尔通体是否。可能导致土狼的心内膜炎或在病变发展之前局限于心脏瓣膜。巴尔通体DNA扩增更经常从郊狼心脏瓣膜比脾脏。巴尔通体感染显然导致心脏瓣膜向性，这可能导致心内膜炎，这是包括人类在内的哺乳动物的致命并发症。
We investigated whether Bartonella spp. could cause endocarditis in coyotes or localize to cardiac valves before lesions develop. Bartonella DNA was amplified more often from coyote cardiac valves than spleen. Bartonella infection apparently leads to cardiac valve tropism, which could cause endocarditis, an often lethal complication in mammals, including humans.
