Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The 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 ...

Morphological traits and mitogenome of Thaumapsylla breviceps orientalis endemic to China provide insight into the evolution of the order Siphonaptera [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The Thaumapsylla breviceps orientalis is endemic to China and exhibits extreme host specificity (monoxenous). This study reports the first mitogenome sequenced for the family Ischnopsyllidae and provides comprehensive analysis of both the morphological ...

Siphonaptera of Canada [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
There are currently 154 species of fleas recorded in Canada in four superfamilies and seven families. Only two species have been added to the list since the previous summary by Holland (1979) one of which is unlikely to be established in Canada.

Phylogeny and divergence time estimation of the subfamily Amphipsyllinae based on the Frontopsylla diqingensis mitogenome [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Fleas are primarily parasites of small mammals and serve as essential vectors of the transmission of plague. The subfamily Amphipsyllinae (Siphonaptera: Leptopsyllidae) consists of 182 species across 13 genera, widely distributed worldwide.

The first mitogenome of the genus Amphalius (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae) and its phylogenetic implications [PDF]

Parasitology
Amphalius spirataenius belongs to Arthropoda, Insecta, Siphonaptera, Ceratophylloidea, Ceratophyllinae, Amphalius. Only 2 species from the subfamily Ceratophyllinae have been sequenced for mitogenomes to date.

The first mitogenome of the subfamily Stenoponiinae (Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae) and implications for its phylogenetic position [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Fleas 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.

Brazilian fleas (Hexapoda: Siphonaptera): diversity, host associations, and new records on small mammals from the Atlantic Rainforest, including Rickettsia screening [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Insects belonging to the Siphonaptera order are obligatory ectoparasites of vertebrates, including humans. Their life cycle is marked by holometabolous development, and adults are adapted to have a bloodmeal out of their hosts.

Flea infestation on small wild mammals in Gharyan, Northwest Libya [PDF]

Open Veterinary Journal, 2022
Background: Fleas play a major role as vectors for many pathogens that affect humans and livestock. Wild animals, especially wild rodents, are the most important hosts, acting as reservoir hosts for many flea species and pathogens.

A new Early Cretaceous flea from China [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020
Fleas are highly specialized holometabolic insects. So far, only 16 species of fossil fleas in five families have been reported due to the rare fossil records.
