  abstract = {{B}ackground {O}ur study aimed to assess the presence of different pathogens in ticks collected in two regions in {C}ote d'{I}voire. {M}ethodology/{P}rincipal {F}indings {R}eal-time {PCR} and standard {PCR} assays coupled to sequencing were used. {T}hree hundred and seventy eight (378) ticks (170 {A}mblyomma variegatum, 161 {R}hipicepalus microplus, 3 {R}hipicephalus senegalensis, 27 {H}yalomma truncatum, 16 {H}yalomma marginatum rufipes, and 1 {H}yalomma impressum) were identified and analyzed. {W}e identified as pathogenic bacteria, {R}ickettsia africae in {A}m. variegatum (90%), {R}h. microplus (10%) and {H}yalomma spp. (9%), {R}ickettsia aeschlimannii in {H}yalomma spp. (23%), {R}ickettsia massiliae in {R}h. senegalensis (33%) as well as {C}oxiella burnetii in 0.2%, {B}orrelia sp. in 0.2%, {A}naplasma centrale in 0.2%, {A}naplasma marginale in 0.5%, and {E}hrlichia ruminantium in 0.5% of all ticks. {P}otential new species of {B}orrelia, {A}naplasma, and {W}olbachia were detected. {C}andidatus {B}orrelia africana and {C}andidatus {B}orrelia ivorensis (detected in three ticks) are phylogenetically distant from both the relapsing fever group and {L}yme disease group borreliae; both were detected in {A}m. variegatum. {F}our new genotypes of bacteria from the {A}naplasmataceae family were identified, namely {C}andidatus {A}naplasma ivorensis (detected in three ticks), {C}andidatus {E}hrlichia urmitei (in nine ticks), {C}andidatus {E}hrlichia rustica (in four ticks), and {C}andidatus {W}olbachia ivorensis (in one tick). {C}onclusions/{S}ignificance {F}or the first time, we demonstrate the presence of different pathogens such as {R}. aeschlimannii, {C}. burnetii, {B}orrelia sp., {A}. centrale, {A}. marginale, and {E}. ruminantium in ticks in {C}ote d'{I}voire as well as potential new species of unknown pathogenicity.},
