open access: yesVeterinary Parasitology, 2007
Twenty adult, domestic short hair cats were randomly allocated into four groups of five cats and housed in separated cages. Each cat was infested with 25 fleas Ctenocephalides felis felis and 25 Ctenocephalides felis strongylus and 2 days later (day 0) the cats in group 1, 2 and 3 received a spot on application of selamectin, imidacloprid or fipronil ...

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

open access: yesPublic 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 ...
