Resum
Bartonella bacilliformis is the etiologic agent of Carrion's
disease or Oroya fever. B. bacilliformis infection represents an
interesting model of human host specificity. The notable
differences in clinical presentations of Carrion's disease
suggest complex adaptations by the bacterium to the human host,
with the overall objectives of persistence, maintenance of a
reservoir state for vectorial transmission, and immune evasion.
These events include a multitude of biochemical and genetic
mechanisms involving both bacterial and host proteins. This
review focuses on proteins involved in interactions between B.
bacilliformis and the human host. Some of them (e.g., flagellin,
Brps, IalB, FtsZ, Hbp/Pap31, and other outer membrane proteins)
are potential protein antigen candidates for a synthetic
vaccine.
