摘要：

Bartonella species are being recognized as important bacterial human and canine pathogens, and arc associated with multiple arthropod vectors Bartonella DNA extracted from blood samples was obtained from domestic dogs in Algiers. Algeria. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequence analyses of the ftsZ gene and the 16S-23S intergenic spacer region (ITS) were performed Three Bartonella species: Bartonella vinsonu subsp berkhoffu, Bartonella clarridgeiae. and Bartonells elizabethae were detected infecting Algerian clogs To our knowledge, this study is the first report of detection by PCR amplification of Bartonella in clogs in North Africa
