Entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana reduce the survival of Xenopsylla brasiliensis larvae (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). [PDF]
, 2012 Entomopathogenic fungi, particularly those belonging to the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria have shown great promise as arthropod vector control tools. These agents, however, have not been evaluated against flea vectors of plague.

Magnetic Levitation Stabilized by Streaming Fluid Flows [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 064502 (2018), 2018 We demonstrate that the ubiquitous laboratory magnetic stirrer provides a simple passive method of magnetic levitation, in which the so-called `flea' levitates indefinitely. We study the onset of levitation and quantify the flea's motion (a combination of vertical oscillation, spinning and "waggling"), finding excellent agreement with a mechanical ...

Analysis of self-organized criticality in Ehrenfest's dog-flea model [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 79, 040103(R) (2009), 2009 The self-organized criticality in Ehrenfest's historical dog-flea model is analyzed by simulating the underlying stochastic process. The fluctuations around the thermal equilibrium in the model are treated as avalanches. We show that the distributions for the fluctuation length differences at subsequent time steps are in the shape of a $q$-Gaussian ...
