在秘鲁亚马逊地区的蝙蝠中调查了巴尔通体感染。共调查了19种112只蝙蝠。从24.1%（27/112）的蝙蝠中培养出巴尔通体菌。每种蝙蝠的感染率从0%到100%不等。巴尔通体分离株的gltA的系统发育分析显示，21个遗传变异聚类成13个不同的gltA组。部分巴尔通体菌株为多种蝙蝠所共有，部分种蝙蝠同时感染多种巴尔通体菌株，未显示出明显的特异性。蝙蝠关系在其他蝙蝠物种中很少发现，从普通吸血蝙蝠（Desmodus rotundus）中发现的巴尔通体I和III组的巴尔通体菌株对宿主蝙蝠物种更具特异性，这表明宿主特异性在一定程度上。
Bartonella infections were investigated in bats in the Amazon part of Peru. A total of 112 bats belonging to 19 species were surveyed. Bartonella bacteria were cultured from 24.1% of the bats (27/112). Infection rates ranged from 0% to 100% per bat species. Phylogenetic analyses of gltA of the Bartonella isolates revealed 21 genetic variants clustering into 13 divergent phylogroups. Some Bartonella strains were shared by bats of multiple species, and bats of some species were infected with multiple Bartonella strains, showing no evident specific Bartonella sp.-bat relationships. Rarely found in other bat species, the Bartonella strains of phylogroups I and III discovered from the common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) were more specific to the host bat species, suggesting some level of host specificity.
