Small Indian Mongooses (Herpestes auropunctatus) Serve As Reservoirs of Bartonella henselae and Rickettsia felis Vectored by Ctenocephalides felis.

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2021
Small Indian mongooses (SIMs, Herpestes auropunctatus) have invasively inhabited over 60 islands worldwide. They have been confirmed as a reservoir of rabies, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis; however, their role in the epidemiology of other zoonoses is ...

Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis: introgressive hybridization?

Systematic Entomology, 2016
AbstractIn the present work, a comparative molecular study of Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis isolated from dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) from different geographical regions (Spain, Iran and South Africa) was carried out. We found morphological variations in C. felis that do not correspond with molecular differences.

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.

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].

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).

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

Putative salivary allergens of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1999
The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis, is the major initiator of flea bite hypersensitivity in dogs. Previous analyses of whole extracts of the flea and flea salivary secretions have failed to identify the allergens responsible. We dissected >2000 salivary glands from adult female fleas, extracted them into buffered saline containing protease ...

Ctenocephalides orientis and Ctenocephalides felis in Thailand: Head geometry by species, sex and geography

Medical and Veterinary Entomology
Fleas in the genus Ctenocephalides serve as biological vectors or intermediate hosts of microorganisms such as bacteria, rickettsia, protozoa and helminths. Ctenocephalides felis has a worldwide distribution, while C. orientis has long been considered as

Vaccination against the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis

Parasite Immunology, 1994
SUMMARYNon‐chemical control of haematophagous parasites is a desirable goal. We report here on the use of concealed antigens from the major digestive organ of the cat‐flea as vaccine components. Rabbits were immunized with various antigens from cat flea midguts, and immunoglobulin from these rabbits was fed to cat fleas in an artifical feeding system ...
