  abstract = {{B}artonellae are gram-negative facultative intracellular alpha-proteobacteria from the family {B}artonellaceae. {T}he natural history of bartonellae consists of a reservoir/host, which is a vertebrate with chronic intravascular infection with sustained bacteremia, and a vector (usually an arthropod) that transfers the bacteria from the reservoir to a susceptible yet uninfected host. {I}n order to reveal the sources and reservoirs of {B}artonella infection in animals and vectors in {N}ew {C}aledonia, we collected the blood samples of 64 dogs, 8 cats, 30 bovines, 25 horses and 29 wild deer {C}ervus timorensis russa and 308 associated blood-sucking parasites (14 keds {H}ippobosca equina, 258 ticks (22 {R}hipicephalus microplus, 235 {R}hipicephalus sanguineus, and 1 {H}aemaphysalis longicornis), 12 fleas {C}tenocephalides fells and 24 dog lice {T}richodectes canis). {W}e isolated ten strains of {B}artonella: four {B}artonella henselae from cats and six {B}artonella chomelii from cattle. {T}he strains were characterized by sequencing of five genes (16{S}, {ITS}, rpo{B}, glt{A} and fts{Z}). {T}he six strains isolated from cattle were close to the reference strain of {B}. chomelii and were, probably, imported from {F}rance with cattle of {L}imousin race. {PCR} showed that 35% of keds collected from deer and 31% of deer were infected by {B}. aff. schoenbuchensis; all other samples were negative. {O}ur data confirmed that in {N}ew {C}aledonia, as in other regions of the world, cats are the major reservoirs of {B}. henselae. {W}e also confirmed that {H}ippoboscidae flies may serve as the vectors of ruminant-associated bartonellae.},
