In vitro evaluation of the activity of Cinnamaldehyde as an inhibitor of the biological cycle of Ctenocephalides felis felis. [PDF]
The objective of this work was to evaluate the in vitro activity of cinnamaldehyde as an inhibitor of the biological cycle of Ctenocephalides felis felis. Tests were carried out with six repetitions containing 10 eggs of C. felis felis together with 0.5g of diet and filter paper discs with area of 23.76 cm2 impregnated with different concentrations of ...

Evaluation of the efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes on Ctenocephalides felis felis larvae (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). [PDF]
Abstract Ctenocephalides felis felis is a relevant and widely distributed ectoparasite that acts as a vector of disease-causing pathogens. Moreover, it is responsible for economic losses due the use of harmful chemicals to the environment and that favor the emergence of insecticide-resistant populations.

Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis felis from five geographic regions of Brazil. [PDF]
This study evaluated rickettsial infection in 701 Ctenocephalides felis felis fleas that were collected from dogs and cats in 31 municipalities, encompassing all regions and major biomes of Brazil. A total of 268 (38.2%) fleas from 30 municipalities were polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive for the rickettsial gltA gene.
