Species code:	BARQU
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Bartonellaceae; Bartonella (TaxID: 803) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bartonella quintana is the etiologic agent of the trench fever. This disease was first identified in the trenches of World War I. The bacterium lives in the gut of the body louse and is transmitted in their faeces. It enters the human body through dagmaged skin or through the conjunctiva of the eye. Promiscuity and dirty conditions in the trenches enabled the spread of the disease. Trench fever is currently reemerging and outbreaks have been seen in Marseilles, Seattle and Baltimore among the homeless population. B. quintana is also responsible for a disease called bacillary angiomatosis and for causing endocarditis.
