Comparative Analysis of Gastrointestinal Bacteria in Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis: Biochemical Traits, Antibiotic Resistance, and 16S rRNA Identification

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Fleas of the genus Ctenocephalides that infest cats and dogs are known to harbor various pathogenic bacteria with potential zoonotic importance. This study aimed to isolate, characterize, and identify bacterial species from the gastrointestinal tracts of

The fleas of house mice (Mus musculus L.) and ship rats (Rattus rattus L.) in forest of the Orongorongo Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 239-254, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The ectoparasites of introduced rodents in mainland New Zealand forests include several species of cosmopolitan flea that may be important in the population dynamics and future biocontrol of rodents. We describe a 2‐rodent, 2‐flea system that showed little change over 20 years.

Occurrence of Rickettsia felis in dog and cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) from Italy [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2009
Rickettsia felis is an obligate intracellular bacterium belonging to the spotted fever group, suspected to cause a murine typhus-like illness in humans, with a cosmopolitan distribution. This study was designed to estimate presence and occurrence of this pathogen in fleas collected from dogs and cats in different areas of Italy.

Functional study of Phaeodactylum tricornutum Seipin highlights specificities of lipid droplets biogenesis in diatoms

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 2245-2269, September 2025.
Summary Diatoms are a major phylum of microalgae, playing crucial ecological roles. They derive from secondary endosymbiosis, leading to a complex intracellular architecture. Their ability to store oil in lipid droplets (LDs) upon unfavourable conditions has raised interest for applications, in particular biofuels, yet Lipid Droplet (LD) biogenesis ...

An Insight into the Sialotranscriptome of the Cat Flea, Ctenocephalides felis

PLoS ONE, 2012
Saliva of hematophagous arthropods contains a diverse mixture of compounds that counteracts host hemostasis. Immunomodulatory and antiinflammatory components are also found in these organisms' saliva. Blood feeding evolved at least ten times within arthropods, providing a scenario of convergent evolution for the solution of the salivary potion. Perhaps

Atypical Presentation of Cat‐Scratch Disease in a 30‐Year‐Old Female: A Case Study

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Cat‐scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic infection caused by the Gram‐negative bacterium Bartonella henselae, typically transmitted through the scratch or bite of a cat. This case report highlights an atypical presentation of CSD in a 30‐year‐old female pet groomer with prolonged fever, fatigue, and axillary lymphadenopathy.

Assessment of Persistence of Bartonella henselae in Ctenocephalides felis [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACTBartonella henselae(Rhizobiales:Bartonellaceae) is a Gram-negative fastidious bacterium of veterinary and zoonotic importance. The cat fleaCtenocephalides felis(Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) is the main recognized vector ofB. henselae, and transmission among cats and humans occurs mainly through infected flea feces.

Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
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 ...

Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 216-222, March 2025.
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.
