  abstract = {{T}he increase in the incidence of zoonoses underlines the need for monitoring pathogens in wild animals. {R}ecent studies have revealed the circulation of several microorganisms in rodents, in various geographic and environmental contexts, including {A}frican urban habitats. {H}owever, {M}ali, a landlocked country of {W}est {A}frica, was not extensively studied for the circulation of the microorganisms in rodents. {A}nd this paucity of information puts the fight against rodent-borne zoonoses at a disadvantage. {T}his is why we aimed through this study to improve knowledge of potentially zoonotic infectious agents carried by rodents in {M}ali ({B}amako). {T}hree hundred and seventy-one small mammal spleen samples taken from captures realized in 2021-2022 were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction. {E}leven of them (i.e. 2.96%) were infected by microorganisms ({B}artonella spp., {C}oxiella burnetii and {T}rypanosoma otospermophili). {T}he most frequently detected microorganisms were {B}artonella spp. (2.43%). {W}e identified new genotypes of {B}. elizabethae (a species involved in some cases of infective endocarditis) and {B}. mastomydis. {W}e also identified {C}. burnetii {MS} type 12, thus showing active circulation of a human-pathogenic genotype of {Q} fever agent in wild rodents. {F}or the first time in {M}ali, {T}rypanosoma otospermophili was identified in a specimen of brown rat {R}attus norvegicus.},
