Allergenicity of the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis felis)

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1993
SummaryAdult fleas, spent and unspent culture media were extracted and the radio‐atlergosor‐bent test (RAST) performed with sera of 48 cat flea skin test‐positive individuals from the Tampa Bay area of Florida. Sixteen sera (33.6%) had a positive RAST to the cat flea extract prepared in our laboratory [1.7‐11.4% of the total counts (TC) added].

Morphological, biometrical, and molecular characterization of Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis isolated from dogs from different geographical regions

Parasitology Research, 2013
In the present work, a comparative morphological, biometrical and molecular study of Ctenocephalides spp. isolated from dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) from different geographical regions (Spain, Iran, and South Africa) has been carried out. The internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) sequences of Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis collected ...

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.

The feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis)

Parasitology Research, 2003
The feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is naturally occurring and widespread retrovirus among domestic cats. The virus is mainly transmitted horizontally through saliva, blood and other body fluids by close contact between cats. Other vectors than cats, e.g. blood sucking parasites, have not been reported.

A comparison of jump performances of the dog flea, Ctenocephalides canis (Curtis, 1826) and the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché, 1835)

Veterinary Parasitology, 2000
Jump performances of Ctenocephalides canis and Ctenocephalides felis felis have been measured and compared on unfed young imagos. The mean length of the C. felis felis jump was 19.9+/-9.1cm; minimum jump was 2cm, and the maximum was one 48cm. The C. canis jump was significantly longer (30.4+/-9.1cm; from 3 to 50cm).

Salivary antigens of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis

Parasite Immunology, 1997
The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis, is the major cause of flea bite hypersensitivity (FBH) in dogs and cats, yet little progress has been reported on identifying the antigens responsible. We obtained flea salivary antigens by washing secretions from containers probed by the mouthparts of fleas, and by extracting whole flea salivary glands. Mice

Ctenocephalides felis an in vitro potential vector for five Bartonella species

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2013
The blood-sucking arthropod Ctenocephalides felis has been confirmed as a vector for Bartonella henselae and is a suspected vector for Bartonella clarridgeiae, Bartonella quintana and Bartonella koehlerae in Bartonella transmission to mammals. To understand the absence of other Bartonella species in the cat flea, we have developed an artificial flea ...

A review of bacterial pathogens inCtenocephalides felisin New Zealand

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 2004
The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, is the recognised vector of Bartonella henselae, B. clarridgeiae and Rickettsia felis. Although these Gram-negative bacteria were only described in the last decade, they are already known to cause a variety of diseases in people, particularly children and the immunosuppressed.
