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 ...

Phylogeny and divergence time estimation of the subfamily Amphipsyllinae based on the Frontopsylla diqingensis mitogenome [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceFleas 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.

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

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.

Plague Microbe Aggregation in the Organism of Fleas (Siphonaptera) with Different Vector Ability
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2012 The following factors have been used to characterize 12 species and subspecies of fleas (Siphonaptera) and plague microbe (Yersinia pestis subs. pestis): the proportion of fleas with “blocks”, “blockules” and their ratio, called the index of microbe ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the flea Ceratophyllus wui (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018 The complete mitogenome sequence of the flea, Ceratophyllus wui (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae), was sequenced. The 18,081 bp long genome has the standard metazoan complement of 37 genes. These genes contain 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes,
