Fleas and flea-borne diseases [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
Flea-borne infections are emerging or re-emerging throughout the world, and their incidence is on the rise. Furthermore, their distribution and that of their vectors is shifting and expanding. This publication reviews general flea biology and the distribution of the flea-borne diseases of public health importance throughout the world, their principal ...

Host traits shape flea infestation patterns in small mammals: a case study of Spermophilus undulatus and associated flea species in northern Xinjiang, China [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
ObjectiveFleas are obligate ectoparasites of mammals and play an important role in the transmission of zoonotic pathogens, including Yersinia pestis. Describing empirical patterns of flea infestation across host communities is essential for understanding

Impact of habitat modifications on flea (Siphonaptera) infestation dynamics of non-volant small mammals across wildlife-human interfaces in Tanzania [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Changes in natural habitats affect the population density of small mammals, which in turn influences ectoparasite populations. This study explores how human-induced habitat modifications impact flea infestations of non-volant small mammals considering ...

A frameshift in Yersinia pestis rcsD alters canonical Rcs signalling to preserve flea-mammal plague transmission cycles

eLife, 2023
Multiple genetic changes in the enteric pathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis have driven the emergence of Yesinia pestis, the arthropod-borne, etiological agent of plague.

Feeding on a Bartonella henselae Infected Host Triggers Temporary Changes in the Ctenocephalides felis Microbiome

Pathogens, 2023
The effect of Bartonella henselae on the microbiome of its vector, Ctenocephalides felis (the cat flea) is largely unknown, as the majority of C. felis microbiome studies have utilized wild-caught pooled fleas.

Enzootic plague reduces survival of Mexican woodrats (Neotoma mexicana) in Colorado

Ecosphere, 2021
Plague is a flea‐vectored disease introduced to North America c. 1900. It is lethal to many American mammal species, causes major die‐offs (epizootics) in some populations, and may be ecologically disruptive even at lower interepizootic (enzootic) levels
