Seasonality and other risk factors for fleas infestations in domestic dogs and cats
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 359-370, June 2023., 2023 The greatest risk for flea infestation occurs for both dogs and cats below the age of 1 year. Small terriers and toy dog breeds have double the odds for flea infestation compared to Retrievers; in cats Asian breeds had half the odds compared to Western European breeds.

Dissemination of bloodmeal acquired Rickettsia felis in cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2013 Cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis, are known biological vectors for Rickettsia felis. Rickettsial transmission can be vertical via transovarial transmission within a flea population, as well as horizontal between fleas through a bloodmeal. The previously undescribed infection kinetics of bloodmeal-acquired R. felis in cat fleas provides insight into the
