Comparison of the activity of selamectin, imidacloprid and fipronil for the treatment of cats infested experimentally with Ctenocephalides felis felis and Ctenocephalides felis strongylus [PDF]
, 2007 Twenty adult, domestic short hair cats were randomly allocated into four groups of five cats and housed in separated cages. Each cat was infested with 25 fleas Ctenocephalides felis felis and 25 Ctenocephalides felis strongylus and 2 days later (day 0 ...

Rickettsia felisand Changing Paradigms about Pathogenic Rickettsiae
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To the Editor: Mediannikov et al. recently reported several features common to the epidemiology of Rickettsia felis infection and malaria in Africa (1). Similar to the findings of several other recent studies in Africa (2,3), the authors diagnosed R. felis infection in febrile—and to a lesser extent in afebrile—persons by detecting R.

First detection of Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis fleas from Italy [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 Members of the genus Rickettsia are commonly associated with haematophagous arthropods such as ticks, fleas or lice. Rickettsia felis is a bacterium belonging to the spotted fever group of the genus Rickettsia. It was first detected by Adams et al. in 1990 [1] in the midgut cells of a cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), and was later described as a new ...

Dissemination of bloodmeal acquired Rickettsia felis in cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2013 Cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis, are known biological vectors for Rickettsia felis. Rickettsial transmission can be vertical via transovarial transmission within a flea population, as well as horizontal between fleas through a bloodmeal. The previously undescribed infection kinetics of bloodmeal-acquired R. felis in cat fleas provides insight into the

Human Infection withRickettsia felis,Kenya
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 To determine the cause of acute febrile illnesses other than malaria in the North Eastern Province, Kenya, we investigated rickettsial infection among patients from Garissa Provincial Hospital for 23 months during 2006-2008. Nucleic acid preparations of serum from 6 (3.7%) of 163 patients were positive for rickettsial DNA as determined by a genus ...

Rickettsia felis Infection in Febrile Children, Ghana. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2017 Rickettsial infections are an underrecognized cause of febrile illness in sub-Saharan Africa. To evaluate the epidemiology and clinical features of rickettsial disease in pediatric patients in Ghana, we screened blood samples from febrile children aged less than 15 years presenting to an outpatient department in Ghana's Ashanti Region for the presence ...
