&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Procellariidae is the most diverse family of the order Procellariiformes, with 13 genera and about 90 species of seabirds. The genus &lt;em&gt;Calonectris&lt;/em&gt; is represented by three species in the Atlantic Ocean. &lt;em&gt;Bartonella&lt;/em&gt; spp. is a globally distributed bacterium primarily affecting mammals, with transmission through hematophagous arthropod vectors. Recent studies have found &lt;em&gt;Bartonella&lt;/em&gt; in non-mammals like birds and turtles, prompting the present study to explore the potential role of chewing lice in its transmission. Here, we report two different &lt;em&gt;Bartonella&lt;/em&gt; genotypes in each lice species identified: one showing genetic relatedness to &lt;em&gt;Bartonella vinsonii berkhoffii&lt;/em&gt;, and another one to &lt;em&gt;Bartonella&lt;/em&gt; sp. from Neotropical bats. In addition, we report, for the first time, a case of co-infestation of chewing lice of the species &lt;em&gt;Austromenopon echinatum&lt;/em&gt; (Piaget) and &lt;em&gt;Halipeurus abnormis&lt;/em&gt; Edwards, found the carcass of &lt;em&gt;Calonectris borealis&lt;/em&gt; studied. Our findings corroborate recent studies that demonstrated that bartonellae are no longer restricted to mammals and their ectoparasites.&lt;/p&gt;
