Blood samples were collected from 66 dogs at two locations near Hamedan, Iran. Twenty dogs were rescued stray dogs and 46 dogs were from a breeding colony, with many of them infested with fleas, ticks, or lice. Serology was performed using an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test for\n Bartonella henselae<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Bartonella clarridgeiae<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n Bartonella vinsonii<\/jats:italic>\n subsp.\n berkhoffii<\/jats:italic>\n . Seroprevalence was 74.2% (range: 65.2\u201395%).\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n DNA amplification and sequencing identified\n B. vinsonii<\/jats:italic>\n subsp.\n berkhoffii<\/jats:italic>\n type III in seven dogs, including five rescued dogs. Two dogs were infected with\n Bartonella rochalimae<\/jats:italic>\n and three dogs with\n Candidatus B. merieuxii<\/jats:italic>\n , including two of the stray dogs coinfected with\n Bartonella vinsonii<\/jats:italic>\n subsp.\n berkhoffii<\/jats:italic>\n . Rescued stray dogs were 10 times (odds ratio (OR) = 10.13, 95% CI: 1.24\u201382.7;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03) more likely to be seropositive and eight times (OR = 8.82, 95% CI: 2.68\u201329.11;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0004) more likely to be flea-infested than breeding dogs, confirming that arthropod infestation is a major risk factor for these infections.\n
