Abstract
We conclude that rock hyraxes are possible reservoirs for B. persica because they have long lifespans and gregarious habits, share habitats with vector ticks, and are naturally infected with this spirochete. Further studies should be conducted in the future to evaluate the competence of hyraxes as reservoirs for B. persica infection.
