Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe evidence that parasitic animals exhibit elevated mitogenomic evolution rates is inconsistent and limited to Arthropoda. Neopsylla hongyangensis Li, Bai et Chen, 1986 (Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae) feeds on the host's blood and is an important ...

The first mitogenome of the subfamily Stenoponiinae (Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae) and implications for its phylogenetic position [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFleas are the most important insect vectors that parasitize warm-blooded animals and are known vectors of zoonotic pathogens. A recent study showed that Stenoponia polyspina parasitizing Eospalax baileyi in Zoige County have carried Bartonella spp.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Ctenophthalmus quadratus and Stenischia humilis in China provides insights into fleas phylogeny [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Fleas (Order Siphonaptera) are common blood-feeding ectoparasites, which have important economic significance. Limited mitochondrial genome information has impeded the study of flea biology, population genetics and phylogenetics.
