Vector biology of the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis

Trends in Parasitology
Ctenocephalides felis, the cat flea, is among the most prevalent and widely dispersed vectors worldwide. Unfortunately, research on C. felis and associated pathogens (Bartonella and Rickettsia spp.) lags behind that of other vectors and vector-borne pathogens. Therefore, we aimed to review fundamental aspects of C.

The biology of Ctenocephalides canis in Ireland

Veterinary Parasitology, 1992
A colony of Ctenocephalides canis was established using dogs as hosts. Two diets were used as media. Fleas reared on cats did not develop beyond the first larval stages. The effects of different temperatures on egg hatching and larval development were examined. Larval survival was poor at 22 degrees C and 25 degrees C at 50% relative humidity, but good

Ctenocephalides felis flea infestation in horses

Veterinary Parasitology, 1996
The horses were in two stables: in the first stable they were kept together with sheep and in the second stable they were kept together with goats. All horses in both stables were diagnosed as being infested with the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis. Foals were severely infested, whereas adult horses were only moderately infested.

Ctenocephalides canis infestation of sheep and goats

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1980
An investigation into infestation of sheep and goats with Ctenocephalides canis showed that while only a light degree of infestation was observed in the affected goats, light to heavy degrees of infestation occurred in sheep. In both species a light degree of infestation had no marked effect on the packed cell volume (PCV).

Presence of Ctenocephalides canis (Curtis) and Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché) Infesting Dogs In the City of Aguascalientes, México

Journal of Parasitology, 2011
Prevalence and seasonal distribution of Ctenocephalides canis (Curtis) and Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché) infestations in urban dogs of the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico, were studied. Between January and December 2007, 863 dogs in the Municipal Canine and Feline Control Center were examined.

Prevalence of Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis from Uruguay

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Our aim was to determine the presence of Rickettsia spp. in 66 fleas from Uruguay. Rickettsial DNA was amplified using gltA and ompB PCR primers. Rickettsia spp. were found in 41% of the fleas (25 Ctenocephalides felis and 2 Ctenocephlides canis).

Efficacy of selamectin against adult flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis felis and Ctenocephalides canis) on dogs and cats

Veterinary Parasitology, 2000
Selamectin was evaluated in eight controlled studies (4 in dogs, 4 in cats) to determine the efficacy of a single topical unit dose providing the recommended minimum dosage of 6mgkg(-1) against Ctenocephalides felis felis and Ctenocephalides canis fleas on dogs and against C. felis on cats.

Effects of azadirachtin on Ctenocephalides felis in the dog and the cat

Veterinary Parasitology, 1998
Azadirachtin-containing neem seed extract is a powerful insect growth regulator, a feeding deterrent and repellent with low toxicity. Unfortunately, azadirachtin degrades rapidly in light, excessive heat or alkalinity. Evaluations of azadirachtin on ectoparasites on animals have been scarce.

Ctenocephalides orientis and Ctenocephalides felis in Thailand : Head geometry by species, sex and geography

Medical and Veterinary Entomology
Abstract Fleas in the genus Ctenocephalides serve as biological vectors or intermediate hosts of microorganisms such as bacteria, rickettsia, protozoa and helminths. Ctenocephalides felis has a worldwide distribution, while

Effects of ultrasonic flea collars on Ctenocephalides felis on cats

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1989
SUMMARY Ultrasonic flea collars marketed by 2 companies were evaluated for their ability to reduce flea numbers on cats with experimentally induced flea (Ctenocephalides felis) infestations. The sound output of the collars was evaluated both before and after use to ensure that the collars were functional.
