  abstract = {{A}rthropods such as ticks, lice, fleas and mites are excellent vectors for many pathogenic agents including bacteria, protozoa and viruses to animals. {M}oreover, many of these pathogens can also be accidentally transmitted to humans throughout the world. {B}acterial vector-borne diseases seem to be numerous and very important in human pathology, however, they are often ignored and are not well known. {Y}et they are in a phase of geographic expansion and play an important role in the etiology of febrile episodes in regions of {A}frica. {S}ince the introduction of molecular techniques, the presence of these pathogens has been confirmed in various samples from arthropods and animals, and more rarely from human samples in {W}est {A}frica. {I}n this review, the aim is to summarize the latest information about vector-borne bacteria, focusing on {W}est {A}frica from 2000 until today in order to better understand the epidemiological risks associated with these arthropods. {T}his will allow health and veterinary authorities to develop a strategy for surveillance of arthropods and bacterial disease in order to protect people and animals.},
