Fleas (Siphonaptera) of Florida
The Florida Entomologist, 1971 Nineteen species of fleas are presently known from Florida. Pulex simulans, Corrodopsylla hamiltoni, and Orchopeas leucopus are here recorded from the state for the first time. Considering only wild mammals, the number of flea species found on a particular host ranged from 1 to 6, whereas the number of hosts infested by a given species of flea varied ...

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic
Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Estimating pathogen‐spillover risk using host–ectoparasite interactions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Understanding the interacting factors that lead to pathogen transmission in a zoonotic cycle could help identify novel hosts of pathogens and the patterns that lead to disease emergence. We use parasite ecology, phylogenetics, and geography to predict known and unknown hosts of hantavirus.

Public Health Challenges, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2024.Fleas infest rodents and other small mammals, serving as vectors for zoonotic diseases such as plague. Villages in plague foci exhibited higher abundances of fleas in comparison to non‐plague foci villages. Factors such as dry season, farmlands, and rodent characteristics influenced flea abundance on rodents in the study area. ABSTRACT Background Fleas

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 5, Page 537-552, June 2024.Abstract Rodents are important hosts for ectoparasites, such as fleas, ticks, and mites, which means they are also important intermediate hosts for many zoonotic diseases. As anthropogenic environments bring humans and rodents into closer contact, an understanding of host–ectoparasite ecology is essential to predict and manage disease spillover risks ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 244-251, June 2024.This work supports the preference of the predominant flea species in pets for seasons with higher temperatures and lower percentages of rainfall. C. felis was the dominant flea species, whereas dogs exhibited a greater diversity of flea species. The number of female fleas was higher than males in all identified species and hosts.
