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).

Integrated morphological and molecular identification of cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides canis) vectoring Rickettsia felis in central Europe

Veterinary Parasitology, 2015
Fleas of the genus Ctenocephalides are the most common ectoparasites infesting dogs and cats world-wide. The species Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis are competent vectors for zoonotic pathogens such as Rickettsia felis and Bartonella spp.

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 ...

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).

Cyromazine Inhibits Larval Development of the Dog Flea, Ctenocephalides canis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1986
Cyromazine (2-cyclopropylamino-4,6-diamino- s -triazine) is a novel insect growth regulator that is a potent inhibitor of dipterous larvae. Cyromazine is also an extremely effective inhibitor of larval and pupal development of the dog flea, Ctenocephalides canis (Curtis).

Chemoreceptors and Other Sense Organs on the Antennal Flagellum of the flea, Ctenocephalides canis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1980
The sense organs on the surface of the antennal flagellum of female Ctenocephalides canis (Curtis) were examined to separate chemoreceptors from other types. There are several small mechanoreceptors on the ventro-lateral surface and 4 larger chemoreceptors on the dorsal edge of subsegments 5 to 8.

Molecular Identification, Multigenic Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of Ctenocephalides Canis Fleas from Humans and Domestic Animals in Iran

Acta Parasitologica
Fleas belonging to the Pulicidae are prevalent ectoparasites infesting mammals and birds in Iran. This study focused on genetically identifying and characterizing Ctenocephalides canis collected both off-host and infesting humans and various domestic animals in the country.A total of 918 adult flea samples were collected from 10 sites in western and ...

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.
