A reverse vaccinology approach to the identification and characterization of Ctenocephalides felis candidate protective antigens for the control of cat flea infestations

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Despite the abundance of the domestic cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché, 1835) and disease risks associated with them, flea control is difficult and requires the development of new control interventions such as vaccines. In this study, a

A chromosome-level assembly of the cat flea genome uncovers rampant gene duplication and genome size plasticity [PDF]

bioRxiv, 2020
Background Fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) are small flightless parasites of birds and mammals; their blood-feeding can transmit many serious pathogens (i.e., the etiological agents of bubonic plague, endemic and murine typhus).

Destabilizing the Fundamental Mode of Black Holes: The Elephant and the Flea. [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2021
Recent work applying the notion of pseudospectrum to gravitational physics showed that the quasinormal mode spectrum of black holes is unstable, with the possible exception of the longest-lived (fundamental) mode.

Identification of microbial taxa present in Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea) reveals widespread co-infection and associations with vector phylogeny

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Ctenocephalides felis , the cat flea, is the most common ectoparasite of cats and dogs worldwide. As a cause of flea allergy dermatitis and a vector for two genera of zoonotic pathogens ( Bartonella and Rickettsia spp.), the effect of the C ...

Patterns of flea infestation in rodents and insectivores from intensified agro-ecosystems, Northwest Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Fleas frequently infest small mammals and play important vectoring roles in the epidemiology of (re)emerging zoonotic disease. Rodent outbreaks in intensified agro-ecosystems of North-West Spain have been recently linked to periodic zoonotic ...

Manifestations and Management of Flea-Borne Rickettsioses

Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine, 2021
Murine typhus and flea-borne spotted fever are undifferentiated febrile illnesses caused by Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia felis, respectively. These organisms are small obligately intracellular bacteria and are transmitted to humans by fleas.
