Longitudinal assessment of immune responses against Bartonella henselae in experimentally infected cats

Key Points

• Cats exhibited varying immune responses to Bartonella henselae, indicating the dynamic nature of the infection.
• Infected cats showed significant antibody level variations over the study period, peaking at 12 weeks post-infection.
• Longitudinal assessment of immune responses provides detailed insights into the course of the infection in cats.
• Understanding these immune responses may inform treatment strategies and prevention of Bartonella infections in feline populations.
