Hi Joe, Welcome to LymeNet.
Don't how much scientific info you need about Bart, but the following may help:
LDF brochure "Tick-Spread Diseases" says "Bartonella, commonly called cat scratch disease, is caused by the bacterium 'Bartonella henselae'." www.lyme.org
LDA brochure "Lyme{R}Primer" says "Bartonellosis-illness caused by an intracellular bacteria that can be transmitted either by a cat bite or scratch or a tick bite. When present in combination with Lyme disease, atypical presentations may result including visual problems, headaches, significant lymph node enlargement, resistant neurological deficits, and the new onset of a siezure disorder...." www.LymeDiseaseAssociation.org
