Bartonella Bacteria:
A small, Gram-negative aerobic bacilli having the ability to infect the red blood cells, endothelial cells that line the blood vessels of the entire circulatory system. It can also reside in the tissues and bone marrow and the immune system cells (macrophages). The immune system is unable to detect the bacteria that are within the cells.
Transmissions:
Most commonly passed to humans by fleas, body lice, and ticks, also moles,etc. See different Bartonellas following or research.
Incubations:
Average 3 days to 4 weeks after exposure symptoms begin to occur.
Found:
World wide 
Rash:
Stretch mark rash, streaks. 
Symptoms onset:
Flu like
Test:
There are blood tests, though often inaccurate.  Testing can be done at Labcorp, Clongen and IgeneX. Muscle testing can be done if a person suspects the infection so they can start eradicating the bacteria with alternatives immediately.
Treatment:
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, and rifampin.  RIFE and other alternatives.**Bartonella is commonly treated with antibiotics including rifampin and azithromyacin, herbs, energy medicines, RIFE. Treatment may take up to one year or more with antibiotics, RIFE and other to completely eliminate the disease.

Bacteria: 
From genus Rochalimeae- B. henselae
Transmission:
Cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis)
Incubation: 
3 t0 10 days
Found:
Worldwide
Rash:
Most common- elongated with appearance of stretch marks. Put "Bartonella rash pictures" in search engine
Symptoms onset:

Flu like
• Fatigue,  feverishness, and swollen lymph nodes. Most of the cases show spontaneous recovery without therapy.

Some  develop:

• Infections of the brain (encephalopathy).  Neuroretinitis, retinitis, retinal infiltrates, arterial and vein occlusions.Valve infection (endocarditis). 

In the immunocompromised it causes a number of other syndromes- 

• Bacillary peliosis hepatis (occurs primarily in the liver), relapsing bacteremia with fever, and endocarditis, bacillary angiomatosis (organisms induce new blood vessel formation (i.e., angiogenesis). These proliferating blood vessels form benign tumor masses}

Diagnoses: 
Blood test and clinical. 
Few MD's are familiar with tick borne Bartonella. Tick borne bartonella henslae is not the same as “cat scratch disease,” which typically is far less serious and has different symptoms.
Treatment:
antibiotics, herbs, RIFE, other

When the disease remains untreated it becomes chronic and a mirad of symptoms are manifested from the B. henselae. Here are some symptoms: untreated-Chronic Bartonella

B. quintana(Trench Fever)
also called Rickettsia quintana, Rickettsia weigli, Rochalimaea quintana,Bartonella quintana,five-day fever, quintan fever, Wolhinie fever, and "urban trench fever.

Bacteria:
from genus Rochalimeae- B.Quintana Gram  Negative-Bacillus 
Transmission:
louse feces and the body lice (Pediculus humanus)
Incubation:
5 to 30 days
Found:
World wide
Rash:
A maculopapular rash may or may not appear on the trunk that is fleeting.
Symptoms onset:

• Sudden with high fever, chills,severe headache, back pain. The symptoms may reappear at five day intervals and thus the disease is also called five day fever. The disease may last weeks to months.Bartonella quintana causes a prolonged febrile illness. 

Later:

• Relapsing fevers, muscle aches, pain behind the eyes, severe headache, joint pain, rash, liver and spleen enlargement, and pain in the shins. 

Recovery takes a month or more. Relapses are common. It can cause bloodstream infection (bacteremia) associated with nonspecific symptoms or no symptoms.
 

• B.Quintana also has been found responsible for a disease called bacillary angiomatosis in people infected with HIV or the immunocompromised. In this illness, organisms induce new blood vessel formation (i.e., angiogenesis). These proliferating blood vessels form benign tumor masses.  Infection of the heart and great vessels (endocarditis) with blood stream infection and heart valve infection(bacteremia).

Some symptoms tend to come and go as the bacteria cycles, the inflammation in the brain increases, during full moons, sleep deprived, etc.

*** The bacteria blocks the normal immune response by suppressing the NF-kB apoptosis pathway.Disease progression will be accelerated if the host is subsequently infected by an immunesuppressing virus such as Epstein Barr or XMRV and likewise, as the host's infectious load increases the immune system will be more prone to infection due to the weakening response.

The Bartonella bacteria must be eradicated. Treating only the symptoms does not prevent the Bartonella's from multiplying. The "disease" only becomes more complicated.

Co-infections are very often present in humans infected with the Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) bacteria. Over twenty different co-infections have already been identified and more continue to be found. Here are some pictures of what a researcher found in his Lyme infected body.
