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

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

First detection of Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis fleas from Italy [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Members of the genus Rickettsia are commonly associated with haematophagous arthropods such as ticks, fleas or lice. Rickettsia felis is a bacterium belonging to the spotted fever group of the genus Rickettsia. It was first detected by Adams et al. in 1990 [1] in the midgut cells of a cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), and was later described as a new ...

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

, 2015
The species Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis are competent vectors for zoonotic pathogens such as Rickettsia felis and Bartonella spp. Improved knowledge on the diversity and phylogenetics of fleas is important for understanding flea-borne

Seroprevalence of Bartonella henselae Immunoglobulin G and Associated Risk Factors Among Adults Undergoing Health Screening in Urban Korea

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 288-295, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Bartonella henselae (B. henselae), the causative agent of cat‐scratch disease, is a zoonotic pathogen transmitted mainly through pet‐related injuries. Although infection is usually mild and self‐limiting, severe complications have been reported. Despite increasing pet ownership in Korea, data on human exposure to B.

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic
