Survey of flea infestation in cats and dogs in Western Andalusia, Spain: Seasonality and other risk factors for flea infestation

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 244-251, June 2024.
This work supports the preference of the predominant flea species in pets for seasons with higher temperatures and lower percentages of rainfall. C. felis was the dominant flea species, whereas dogs exhibited a greater diversity of flea species. The number of female fleas was higher than males in all identified species and hosts.

Survey of ectoparasites affecting dog and cat populations living in sympatry in Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 3, May 2024.
Findings of the present study demonstrated an overall prevalence of 36.7%, 69.7% and 4.7% ticks, fleas and lice on dogs, respectively. Similarly, on cats, an overall prevalence of 2.7% ticks and 21.8% fleas was recorded. The abundance of C. felis was significantly higher (p < 0.001) on dogs, whereas in cats, the abundance of E.

Estudo da infecção por Rickettsias do grupo da febre maculosa em humanos e carrapatos de um parque urbano na Cidade de Londrina, Estado do Paraná [PDF]

, 2011
INTRODUCTION: Spotted fevers are emerging zoonoses caused by Rickettsia species in the spotted fever group (SFG). Rickettsia rickettsii is the main etiologic agent of Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) and it is transmitted by Amblyomma spp. ticks.

Horizontal transmission of Rickettsia felis between cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis

Molecular Ecology, 2011
Rickettsia felis is a rickettsial pathogen primarily associated with the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis. Although laboratory studies have confirmed that R. felis is maintained by transstadial and transovarial transmission in C. felis, distinct mechanisms of horizontal transmission of R. felis among cat fleas are undefined.

Cat–wildlife interactions and zoonotic disease risk: a call for more and better community science data

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 93-104, April 2024.
Domestic cats play a significant role in wildlife predation and they are likely involved in disease transmission. Abstract Due to their close interaction with both wildlife and humans, free‐ranging domestic animals are well‐suited to act as conveyors of zoonotic pathogens.

Small mice create big problems: Why Predator Free New Zealand should include house mice and other pest species

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract Predator Free 2050 (PF2050) is a government initiative aiming to eradicate selected invasive mammals (mustelids, rats, and possums) from New Zealand (NZ) by 2050. Selecting which of 32 introduced mammal species to include has received little evaluation, yet targeting a few species often results in perverse ecological outcomes given ...

Metabarcoding using nanopore long‐read sequencing for the unbiased characterization of apicomplexan haemoparasites

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Apicomplexan haemoparasites generate significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other animals, particularly in many low‐to‐middle income countries. Malaria caused by Plasmodium remains responsible for some of the highest numbers of annual deaths of any human pathogen, whilst piroplasmids, such as Babesia and Theileria can have immense ...
