  abstract = {{D}espite intense efforts to maintain a high level of vaccine coverage against human whooping cough, rural senegalese areas are still endemic for {B}ordetella pertussis. {O}ne explanation being the potential existence of animal reservoirs, the objective of this work was to precise the carriage by domestic animals of bacteria belonging to the genus {B}ordetella in {S}enegal. {B}acteriological samples (swabs and aspirates) were obtained from various domestic animals living in different parts of the country. {N}o {B}. pertussis nor {B}. parapertussis were isolated. {H}owever, for the first time to our knowledge, {B}. bronchiseptica was identified from small ruminants located in {A}frica. {T}he positive animals were two goats and two sheep from {D}akar slaughterhouse together with a goat living in a rural compound. {T}he fact that it was identified in goats and sheep underlines the potential zoonotic of that bacterial species in countries where small ruminants are of economical and cultural relevance.},
