The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "t". — The risk group for Taiwan has been imported on 2024-11-03. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "P650 = v". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 41 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
- 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.

- 🧍 This species is named Bartonella bovis Bermond et al. 2002 non Donatien and Lestoquard 1934 to distinguish it from the organism described as "Bartonella bovis" by Donatien and Lestoquard. — "Bartonella weissi" (sic) Marano et al. 1999 (equivalent name "Bartonella weissii" Regnery et al. 2000) and Bartonella bovis Bermond et al. 2002 belong to the same species. "Bartonella weissi" or "Bartonella weissii" have no standing in nomenclature and this species must be designated as Bartonella bovis Bermond et al. 2002. Publication: Donatien A, Lestoquard F. Sur une Bartonella nouvelle du bœuf, Bartonella bovis n. sp. Bull. Soc. Pathol. Exo. 1934; 7:652-654.
