Proteins of Bartonella bacilliformis: Candidates for Vaccine
                Development

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
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.
