We conducted a molecular survey of Rickettsia in fleas collected from opossums, road-killed and live-trapped in peridomestic and rural settings, state parks, and from pet cats and dogs in Georgia, United States during 1992–2014.

Immunity of fleas (Order Siphonaptera).
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2019The immune response of arthropod vectors plays a key role in the spread and transmission of vector-borne diseases. Although fleas transmit several human pathogens (e.g., Bartonella henselae, Rickettsia felis, R. typhi, and Yersinia pestis), few studies have examined how these vectors respond to infection.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the Siphonaptera, laterally compressed wingless holometabolous insects. The order contains approximately 2575 species. All species are parasitic in the adult stage and possess mouthparts modified for piercing and sucking, highly modified combs and setae on their body and legs, and legs that are modified for ...

WOLBACHIA ENDOSYMBIONTS IN FLEAS (SIPHONAPTERA)
Journal of Parasitology, 2003Intracellular endosymbionts, Wolbachia spp., have been reported in many different orders of insects and in nematodes but not previously in fleas. This is the first conclusive report of Wolbachia spp. within members of the Siphonaptera. Using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, we screened for Wolbachia spp ...

Siphonaptera from mammals in Alaska
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1978Twenty-three species of fleas were collected from 18 species of wild mammals, 2 domesticated species, and man. Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché) and Hystrichopsylla dippiei spinata Holland are new records for the state. Rhadinopsylla alphabetica Jameson &Sakaguti is a new record for North America.

Fleas are a monophyletic group that has evolutionary ties with the mecopteroid insect orders—namely, Mecoptera and Diptera . They are morphologically unique ectoparasites. There are approximately 2500 species and subspecies of fleas that are currently placed in 15 families and 220 genera.
