Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Rickettsia felisin Fleas, Southern Ethiopia, 2010
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 To the Editor: Fleas (order Siphonaptera) are obligate hematophagous insects. They are laterally flattened, holometabolous, and wingless ectoparasites. More than 2,500 species of flea, belonging to 16 families and 238 genera, have been described. A minority of these genera live in close association with humans (synanthropic), including fleas of these ...

Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 216-222, March 2025.Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Rickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

Rickettsia felis: a new species of pathogenic rickettsia isolated from cat fleas [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996 A flea-borne rickettsia, previously referred to as ELB, has been implicated as a cause of human illness. Using sequence data obtained from a fragment of the citrate synthase gene, we compared ELB, Rickettsia australis, R. rickettsii, and R. akari with the louse-borne R. prowazekii. We tallied 24 base pair differences between ELB and R.

Molecular Detection of Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia bellii in Mosquitoes [PDF]
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2019 To add to the limited information on Rickettsia in mosquitoes in China, we carried out a PCR survey on convenience samples of 3051 mosquitoes collected with hand nets in and around domestic dwellings in 25 provinces. Five species of mosquitoes were identified: Culex pipiens pallens (n = 1620), Aedes albopictus (806), Armigeres subalbatus (377 ...
