This study reports < 1% prevalence of antibodies to common Bartonella species in healthy people in contact with bats in Ghana, and no exposure to a novel bat-borne Bartonella strain. One human sample tested positive on PCR for B. clarridgeiae DNA. Among 70 domestic animals that lived underneath E. helvum roosting areas, one cat was positive for B. henselae DNA.
