dc.description.abstract	Rodents play an important role in the trans mission of zoonotic diseases. This study investigated the prevalence of Leptospira spp. and Bartonella spp. in Mas tomys natalensis and its ectoparasites (fleas and mites) in selected villages of Morogoro, Tanzania. Mastomys nata lensis were captured live in fallow habitats using Sherman® trapsandanesthetizedusingHalothane.Bloodsampleswere obtained from the retroorbital sinus Ectoparasites were removed from the fur using a hard brush and preserved in 70 %ethanol. Real time–qPCR was used to detect Leptospira spp. and Bartonella spp. from Mastomys natalensis blood and ectoparasites respectively. The study revealed a rela tively larger number of males than females captures. Lep tospira spp. was demonstrated in one out of 100 Mastomys	en_US
