  abstract = {{I}n {A}lgeria, only limited information is currently available on the prevalence of emergent canine and feline vector-borne diseases. {T}he aim of the present work was to detect by q{PCR} vector-associated bacteria in stray dogs and cats and their ectoparasites from {A}lgiers. 18/117 (15.38%) dogs and 2/107 (1.87%) cats were positive for at least one vector-borne agent. {C}oxiella burnetii and {B}artonella henselae were identified in 1/117 (0.85%) dog individually. {E}hrlichia canis {DNA} was detected in 17/117 (14.52%) dogs. 1/107 (0.93%) cat was positive to {C}. burnetii and another 1/107 (0.93%) to {B}. henselae. {DNA} of {R}ickettsia massiliae, {R}ickettsia conorii and {E}. canis was detected in {R}hipicephalus sanguineus. {C}at fleas were infected with {R}ickettsia felis, {B}. henselae and {B}artonella clarridgeiae. {B}. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was identified in {X}enopsylla cheopis collected from dogs. {T}he findings of this study indicate that dogs and cats from {A}lgeria are exposed to multiple tick and flea-borne pathogens.},
