Abstract
Blood, spleen and liver of specific pathogen-free (SPF) cats and SPF cats e
xperimentally infected with Bartonella henselae were examined. Using immuno
histochemical labeling, no intracellular B. henselae were observed in tissu
es of any cats, but extracellular B. henselae were detected in tissues of i
nfected cats. Pseudoinclusions were detected in erythrocytes of all cats us
ing electron microscopy. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
