Abstract

Bartonella species are intracellular parasites of erythrocytes and endothelia cells of several animals, including rodents, ruminants, cats and dogs, and are considered potential emerging pathogens in humans. Among ruminants, B. schoenbuchensis, B. chomelii and B. bovis (formerly named B. weissii) have been isolated from blood in Europe, Africa and North America [1–3]. Although the presence of various Bartonella species in animals has been largely studied in these countries, there are only a few data in South America. The objective of this study was to detect, to isolate and to identify the presence of Bartonella species from blood of animals from French Guyana, South America.
