Immediate and long-term efficacy of Felpreva®, a new spot-on formulation containing tigolaner, emodepside and praziquantel, applied as a single application to cats artificially infested with the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2023
Five studies (two dose determination, two dose confirmation, and one speed of flea kill study) were conducted to assess the immediate (therapeutic) efficacy and long-term persistent (preventive) efficacy of a single spot-on application containing the ...

Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides spp. Fleas, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
In June 2000, suspected cases of Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) occurred in Coronel Fabriciano Municipality, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Pooled fleas collected near two fatal cases contained rickettsial DNA. The nucleotide sequence alignment of the 391-bp

Nutrient depletion may trigger the Yersinia pestis OmpR‐EnvZ regulatory system to promote flea‐borne plague transmission

Molecular Microbiology, 2019
The flea’s lumen gut is a poorly documented environment where the agent of flea‐borne plague, Yersinia pestis, must replicate to produce a transmissible infection.

FLEA: Provably Robust Fair Multisource Learning from Unreliable Training Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Fairness-aware learning aims at constructing classifiers that not only make accurate predictions, but also do not discriminate against specific groups. It is a fast-growing area of machine learning with far-reaching societal impact. However, existing fair learning methods are vulnerable to accidental or malicious artifacts in the training data, which ...

Parasite spread at the domestic animal - wildlife interface: anthropogenic habitat use, phylogeny and body mass drive risk of cat and dog flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) infestation in wild mammals

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Spillover of parasites at the domestic animal - wildlife interface is a pervasive threat to animal health. Cat and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and C. canis) are among the world’s most invasive and economically important ectoparasites.

Return distributions in dog-flea model revisited [PDF]

Physica A 389, 3382 (2010), 2010
A recent study of coherent noise model for the system size independent case provides an exact relation between the exponent $\tau$ of avalanche size distribution and the $q$ value of appropriate $q$-Gaussian that fits the return distribution of the model.

Differential Gene Expression Patterns of Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis during Infection and Biofilm Formation in the Flea Digestive Tract

mSystems, 2019
Y. pestis emerged as a highly virulent, arthropod-transmitted pathogen on the basis of relatively few and discrete genetic changes from Y. pseudotuberculosis. Parallel comparisons of the in vitro and in vivo transcriptomes of Y.

Ectoparasites infesting animals living in close contact with human beings: a real trouble for One Health perspective? [PDF]

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2021
The number of domestic animals living with human beings is rapidly increasing in parallel with an enhanced risk of transmission of their parasites and the pathogens they might carry.
