caused by crowded roosting areas and sharing of roosts by multiple species.This behavior provides opportunities for transmission of Bartonella bacteria or exchange of infected ectoparasites, such as Cyclopodia spp.(8), although the precise roles of these 2 processes are unknown.Although no human cases of Bartonella spp.infection have been reported in Vietnam, Bartonella spp.have been identified in febrile humans elsewhere in Southeast Asia (9) and are also common in rats in southern Vietnam (10).Because close contact with bats (i.e., through manure farming and consumption of bat meat) and potential arthropod vectors (i.e., through handling and consumption of fruit) is common in parts of Vietnam, targeted screening of bats and their human contacts might improve our understanding of the zoonotic potential of these bacteria and their potential effect on public health.
