  Abstract

We investigate bacterial communities of nine, Bartonella-positive fleas (Oropsylla hirsuta, N=6; Oropsylla montana, N=3) using universal primers, clone libraries, and DNA sequencing. DNA sequences are used to classify detected bacteria in a phylogenetic context, to explore community assembly patterns within individual fleas, and to survey diversity patterns in dominant lineages.
