    Journal: Bull Soc Pathol Exot Filiales; 1978; 71(6):412-6. PubMed ID: 755536.
    Abstract:
    The hemograms of 97 bed-riddens in very bad conditions reveal the presence (74 more or less infected but 6 heavily) of cocci, rots, rings, commas, coloured by May-Grünwald and Giemsa stain against the cell membrane wall of the erythrocyts and sometimes free in the blood plasma. This procaryotic element is the same agent of the canine, feline, equine and cuniculine haemobartonellosis in Niger. Principal symptoms are general weariness, anaemia, arthralgies, dizziness, anguish, suffocation crisis. It is a disease of the deficient and underfed men in Sahel.
