The fleas are one of those major belligerent insect pests, which transmit various bacterial, viral and rickettsial diseases not only to humans but to animals also. Fleas are liable for causing dermatitis in domestic as well as companion animals. The biting caused by any flea results in Flea Allergy Dermatitis, which develops due to the release of a ...

High phylogenetic diversity of the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) at two mitochondrial DNA markers
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2014 The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) (Bouché), is the most common flea species found on cats and dogs worldwide. We investigated the genetic identity of the cosmopolitan subspecies C.

Allergenicity of the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis felis)
Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1993SummaryAdult 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].

Salivary antigens of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis
Parasite Immunology, 1997The 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, 1999The 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 ...

Vaccination against the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis
Parasite Immunology, 1994SUMMARYNon‐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 ...

Comparative microbiota of Rickettsia felis-uninfected and -infected colonized cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis [PDF]
ISME Journal, 2007 Fleas serve as arthropod vectors for several emerging and re-emerging infectious disease causing agents including, Rickettsia felis. Although the prevalence of R. felis infection in colonies of fleas has been examined, the influence of the R.

Ctenocephalides felis flea infestation in horses
Veterinary Parasitology, 1996The 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.
