Flea Burden on Rodents and Its Associated Determinants in Plague‐Endemic Localities of Karatu District, Tanzania: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Public Health Challenges, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2024.
Fleas infest rodents and other small mammals, serving as vectors for zoonotic diseases such as plague. Villages in plague foci exhibited higher abundances of fleas in comparison to non‐plague foci villages. Factors such as dry season, farmlands, and rodent characteristics influenced flea abundance on rodents in the study area. ABSTRACT Background Fleas
