Abstract
Haemaphysalis sulcata ticks collected from sheep and goats in southern Croatia were found infected with rickettsiae. Molecular analysis of the complete gltA gene and portion of 17 kDa and ompB genes revealed the presence of Rickettsia felis-like bacteria in up to 26% of tested ticks.Keywords
