Abstract

Bartonella quintana has been considered to be specifi cally adapted to humans. Our isolation of the organism from 2 of 36 captive rhesus macaques in China and fi nding antibodies against B. quintana in 12 of 33 indicates that the reservoir hosts of B. quintana may include primates other than humans.
