Cat Scratch Disease is caused by the flea-carried bacterium Bartonella henselae and is spread when an infected cat bites, licks, or scratches a person.

The most common zoonotic disease associated with cats is Bartonella, an infection better known as cat scratch disease. Originally blamed on a virus, the actual cause of this disease is the rickettsial organism found in fleas, Bartonella henselae.
