  abstract = {{B}artonella species, intracellular parasite of erythrocytes and endothelial cells, are zoonotic pathogens of wild and domestic animals including rodents. {M}any species of rodents are commensally infected with a few {B}artonella species in {A}sia. {H}owever, there are only few reports on detection of {B}artonella in {T}hailand. {O}ur objective was to detect the presence of {B}artonella species in rodents from {T}hailand. {A}mong 247 rodents captured in five provinces from {T}hailand we identified {B}artonella species using molecular methods targeting three genes i.e. citrate synthase (glt{A}), beta-subunit of the {RNA} polymerase (rpo{B}) and cell division protein gene (fts{Z}) and the 16{S}-23{S} r{RNA} intergenic spacer ({ITS}). {O}verall, we found 21 rodents being infected with a {B}artonella species including seven {B}. coopersplainsensis, four {B}. phoceensis, six {B}. queenslandensis, one {B}. rochalimae, one {B}artonella sp. {RN}24{BJ} and two genotypes of a new {B}artonella that we propose to give the provisional status "{C}andidatus {B}artonella thailandensis". {T}o the best of our knowledge, these {B}artonella species have been detected for the first time in {T}hailand.},
