Study on Ectoparasites of Free-Ranging Domestic Cats (Felidae; Felis catus) and Introducing Trichodectes canis as a New Record Louse in Tehran Urban Parks, Iran

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2023
Free-ranging domestic cats (Felidae, Felis catus) can potentially play host to some life-threatening zoonotic pathogens including ectoparasites such as fleas, ticks, and lice. These ectoparasites are capable of transmitting zoonotic disease.

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

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 ...
