The association of host and vector characteristics with Ctenocephalides felis pathogen and endosymbiont infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Surveillance of the fleas and flea-borne pathogens infecting cats is important for both human and animal health. Multiple zoonotic Bartonella and Rickettsia species are known to infect the most common flea infesting cats and dogs worldwide ...

Identification of Vietnamese Flea Species and Their Associated Microorganisms Using Morphological, Molecular, and Protein Profiling

Microorganisms, 2023
Fleas are obligatory blood-sucking ectoparasites of medical and veterinary importance. The identification of fleas and associated flea-borne microorganisms, therefore, plays an important role in controlling and managing these vectors.

Feeding on a Bartonella henselae Infected Host Triggers Temporary Changes in the Ctenocephalides felis Microbiome

Pathogens, 2023
The effect of Bartonella henselae on the microbiome of its vector, Ctenocephalides felis (the cat flea) is largely unknown, as the majority of C. felis microbiome studies have utilized wild-caught pooled fleas.

Epidemiological characteristics of the ectoparasite infestation in domestic dogs in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam

Veterinary Integrative Sciences, 2023
Ectoparasites not only cause pruritus and dermatitis but also play a crucial role in vector-borne disease in domestic dogs. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of ectoparasite infestation and the molecular characteristics of ticks and ...

Revisiting the sialome of the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis

PLoS ONE, 2023
The hematophagous behaviour emerged independently in several instances during arthropod evolution. Survey of salivary gland and saliva composition and its pharmacological activity led to the conclusion that blood-feeding arthropods evolved a distinct ...

Identification of microbial taxa present in Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea) reveals widespread co-infection and associations with vector phylogeny

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Ctenocephalides felis , the cat flea, is the most common ectoparasite of cats and dogs worldwide. As a cause of flea allergy dermatitis and a vector for two genera of zoonotic pathogens ( Bartonella and Rickettsia spp.), the effect of the C ...

Using Proteomic Approaches to Unravel the Response of Ctenocephalides felis felis to Blood Feeding and Infection With Bartonella henselae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Among the Ctenocephalides felis felis-borne pathogens, Bartonella henselae, the main aetiological agent of cat scratch disease (CSD), is of increasing comparative biomedical importance. Despite the importance of B.
