Socio-ecological risk factors associated with human flea infestations of rural household in plague-endemic areas of Madagascar.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Plague is a flea-borne fatal disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which persists in rural Madagascar. Although fleas parasitizing rats are considered the primary vectors of Y.

Epidemiology and clinical features of flea-borne rickettsioses

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2017
Murine typhus is a flea-borne rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia typhi. The disease is endemic to tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. It is likely vastly under-recognized as a cause of febrile illness.

Evidence of Yersinia pestis DNA from fleas in an endemic plague area of Zambia. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Yersinia pestis is a bacterium that causes plague which infects a variety of mammals throughout the world. The disease is usually transmitted among wild rodents through a flea vector.

Collateral benefits of restricted insecticide application for control of African trypanosomiasis on Theileria parva in cattle: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

, 2014
Tick and tsetse-borne diseases (TTBDs) constrain livestock production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Of this community of endemic diseases, East coast fever (T.parva) is the most important tick-borne disease (TBD) accounting for 70% of

Fleas of small mammals on Reunion Island: diversity, distribution and epidemiological consequences.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
The diversity and geographical distribution of fleas parasitizing small mammals have been poorly investigated on Indian Ocean islands with the exception of Madagascar where endemic plague has stimulated extensive research on these arthropod vectors.

Case Report: Early Doxycycline Therapy for Potential Rickettsiosis in Critically Ill Patients in Flea-Borne Typhus-Endemic Areas

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019
Flea-borne typhus (FBT), although usually perceived as a self-resolving febrile illness, actually encompasses a wide spectrum of disease severity, including fulminant sepsis with multi-organ failure. In endemic Texas and California, the incidence of FBT has more than doubled over the last decade.

Yersinia pestis Caf1 Protein: Effect of Sequence Polymorphism on Intrinsic Disorder Propensity, Serological Cross-Reactivity and Cross-Protectivity of Isoforms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Yersinia pestis Caf1 is a multifunctional protein responsible for antiphagocytic activity and is a key protective antigen. It is generally conserved between globally distributed Y. pestis strains, but Y. pestis subsp.

Flea-borne pathogens in the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis and their association with the mtDNA diversity of the flea hosts [PDF]

, 2021
Flea-borne pathogens were screened from 100 individual cat fleas using a PCR approach, of which 38 % were infected with at least one bacterium. Overall, 28 % of the flea samples were positive for Bartonella as inferred from ITS DNA region. Of these, 25 %
