Objective To investigate Bartonella infection in rodents at Mudanjiang airport in Heilongjiang province, China. Methods A total of 33 rodents were captured by night trapping and cage method, and their spleen were aseptically collected to detect Bartonella by PCR. The positive samples obtained were further identified through gene sequencing. Results The results showed that 6 positive samples of Bartonella in all rodents,infection prevalence was 18.18%, 5 of which were isolated from Apodemus agrarius, one from Rattus norvegicus. Results showed that at least 4 subtypes of Bartonella were found at Mudanjiang airport, including B. taylorii, B. phoceensis, B. grahamii that are pathogenic to humans, as well as an undetermined species. The results suggested the genotype diversity of Bartonella at Mudanjiang airport. Conclusion The prevalence of Bartonella infection in rodents at Mudanjiang airport poses a risk of transmission to human, and appropriate control measures should be taken into consideration.
