Zusammenfassung:Our knowledge of the epidemiology of rodents' parasitic agents in Iran is scarce, although some of these pathogens play an important role in human and veterinary medicine, such as and . The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of and in rodents of northwestern Iran between Mar and Dec 2015. Overall, 157 serum samples from rodents (101 , 41 , and 15 ) were assayed by the indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT) for antibodies to and . We found a prevalence of 20.38% (32/157) for 35% (55/157) for . Co-presence of antibodies to and was found in 10 (6.36%) rodents. A significant association was found between the rodents species and seropositivity to (
