Diversity of lice and flea- and lice-borne pathogens in free-ranging dogs in Uzbekistan. [PDF]
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

Evolution of the <i>Neopsylla hongyangensis</i> Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera. [PDF]
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Survey of ectoparasites affecting dog and cat populations living in sympatry in Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]
Findings of the present study demonstrated an overall prevalence of 36.7%, 69.7% and 4.7% ticks, fleas and lice on dogs, respectively. Similarly, on cats, an overall prevalence of 2.7% ticks and 21.8% fleas was recorded. The abundance of C. felis was significantly higher (p < 0.001) on dogs, whereas in cats, the abundance of E.
