Abstract：To identify Bartonella spp.from rodents of Zhejiang Province and provide scientific basis for the control and prevention of Bartonella infection in human,murine-like animals were captured by night trapping method and their liver and spleen were collected to detect Bartonella by PCR and isolating culture method.Part of positive amplicons were sequenced and submitted to GenBank and phylogenetic analysis was performed by comparison of gltA fragments with PAUP 4.0 beta 10.Bartonella DNA was detected in 46.9% Samples of Apodemus agrarius,Rattus losea,Rattus norvegicus,Eothenomys melanogaster,Niviventer confucianus,Suncus murinus,Microtus fortis,Rattus flavipectus,and Apodemus speciosus.Furthermore,the first Bartonella spp.was isolated from Apodemus agrarius in Zhejiang Province in this study.Phylogenetic analysis showed that the sequences were similar to Bartonella rattimassiliensis and Bartonella grahamii.It's concluded that there exists Bartonella spp.,which could infect human,in small rodents of Zhejiang Province.
