  abstract = {{I}n {S}enegal, domestic ruminants play a vital role in the economy and agriculture and as a food source for people. {B}artonellosis in animals is a neglected disease in the tropical regions, and little information is available about the occurrence of this disease in {A}frican ruminants. {H}uman bartonellosis due to {B}artonella quintana has been previously reported in {S}enegal. {I}n this study, 199 domestic ruminants, including 104 cattle, 43 sheep, and 52 goats were sampled in villages from the {S}enegalese regions of {S}ine {S}aloum and {C}asamance. {W}e isolated 29 {B}artonella strains, all exclusively from cattle. {M}olecular and genetic characterization of isolated strains identified 27 strains as {B}artonella bovis and two strains as potentially new species. {T}he strains described here represent the first {B}artonella strains isolated from domestic ruminants in {S}enegal and the first putative new {B}artonella sp. isolated from cattle in {A}frica.},
