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).

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).

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.

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.

Urban foci of murine typhus involving cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis felis) collected from opossums in Mexico City

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2020
Murine typhus, a neglected rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia typhi, is a common disease in several Latin‐American countries. The sylvatic life cycle of R.

Investigation of Ctenocephalides felis on domestic dogs and Rickettsia felis infection in the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2020
Rickettsia felis is an obligate intracellular Gram‐negative bacterium which causes flea‐borne spotted fever in humans. In the past decades, R. felis has been detected worldwide in Ctenocephalides felis fleas and various other arthropods.

Evidence of Brucella melitensis DNA in the Microbiome of Ctenocephalides felis from Pet Cats in Greece.

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2020
Cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) are the most prevalent ectoparasites of pet animals with cosmopolitan distribution, obligatory hematophagous, and may prey on humans to receive bloodmeals. We studied the microbiota of 100 flea-pools, containing C. felis,
