Fleas (Siphonaptera) are Cretaceous, and Evolved with Theria [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2015 Fleas (order Siphonaptera) are highly-specialized, diverse blood-feeding ectoparasites of mammals and birds with an enigmatic evolutionary history and obscure origin. We here present a molecular phylogenetic study based on a comprehensive taxon sampling of 259 flea taxa, representing 16 of the 18 extant families of this order.
